Kansantaloudellisessa

Kansantaloudellisessa is an inessive form of the Finnish adjective kansantaloudellinen, meaning related to the national economy or macroeconomics. It is used to indicate that a statement or analysis concerns macroeconomic questions or the macro level. In Finnish academic and policy writing, phrases such as kansantaloudellisessa mielessä (in macroeconomic terms) or kansantaloudellisessa kontekstissa (in the macroeconomic context) are common.

The term derives from kansantalous, the noun for the national economy, combined with the suffix -ellinen to form an adjective meaning macroeconomic or national-economic. The inessive ending -ssa in Kansantaloudellisessa marks the grammatical case for “in the macroeconomic [sense/context].” Related forms include kansantaloudellinen (basic adjective), kansantaloudellisesti (adverb), and other case forms like kansantaloudellisen or kansantaloudellisiin depending on the sentence.

Kansantaloudellista terminology is widespread in fields such as economics, political science, and public policy. It often appears in discussions of policy effects, economic indicators, and analyses that operate at the level of the national economy rather than micro or sectoral levels. While closely related to kansantalous as a noun, Kansantaloudellisessa functions as a descriptor rather than a standalone concept, and its precise meaning is shaped by the surrounding noun or prepositional phrase.
