Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'microeconomic' (relating to individual markets) modifies 'expert' (a person with deep knowledge), so the meaning 'an expert in microeconomics' follows straightforwardly. This adjective+noun pattern is a common, transparent formation across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Microeconomic expert gives a clear image of someone using a magnifying glass to study tiny parts of the economy, because micro means 'small', economic means 'about money and markets', and expert is a specialist. So a microeconomic expert is a person who studies 'small' areas like individual shops, companies and consumers instead of whole countries.
