A longtime student of economics at
The Penn State University, Ryan Elantri knows well the subject of
macroeconomics. A branch of study that covers the structure, behavior,
performance and decision-making taking place within economies as a whole,
macroeconomics generally refers to economies of considerable size, including
those on a regional, national and/or international scale.
Macroeconomics, particularly within
the classroom, includes the study of larger, aggregated economic indicators,
factors such as price indices, GDP, national income, unemployment rates and how
different sectors of a larger economy interact. Those who specialize in
macroeconomics like Ryan Elantri, known as macroeconomists, often develop models to better
understand the relationship between such indicators as savings, investment,
national income, output, consumption and many more.
Now in pursuit of a career in the
financial sector, 2017 Penn State graduate Ryan Elantri gained invaluableexperience and insight as a member of the Penn State Investment Association and
the Penn State Finance Society.
