I’m an economics professor (not in macro, but I’ve taken more macro and at a higher level than you have).

I think this comment is right on the money. None of what I learned in graduate school would help you forecast the price of a specific asset.

Some of the large investment firms do employ economics PhDs to help them make forecasts of particular broad macro variables (inflation, unemployment, etc.). I don’t know of anyone who uses their macro background to forecast specific asset prices (e.g., Amazon’s share price).

(Note that there are people in economics who study time series forecasting - that can be used to make forecasts for specific assets but is considered somewhat separate from most macro modeling, which is micro founded and done in a DSGE framework.)

I’d recommend you study macro bc it is interesting and intellectually rewarding, but I don’t think it’s going to tell you anything about pricing a specific asset.
