Macro tends to heavily focus on gdp which is good, because it involves real numbers unlike micro.
The formula for GDP is: GDP = C + I + G + (Ex - Im), where “C” equals spending by consumers, “I” equals investment by businesses, “G” equals government spending and “(Ex - Im)” equals net exports, that is, the value of exports minus imports.
Transfer payments like welfare are not factored in at this stage.
