Economics EE on the Palm Oil industry in Indonesia

Recommended Posts

Hi, I've just finished my first year of IB and I'm keen to get an early start on my EE. 

 

The topic I'm interested in is the palm oil industry in Indonesia. I chose this because I studied it in anticipated Indonesian this year, and found it pretty interesting. I also get along well with my teacher, who has travelled to Indonesia a lot and knows people who I'll be able to contact to obtain primary information. 

 

At the moment I'm looking at the following aspects:

  • Externalities
  • GDP (regular/green, sustainability)
  • International trade

The closest I've come to a research question is "To what extent are the economic costs of palm oil production offset by the economic benefits to the local Indonesian economy", but this feels too broad to me. 

 

Any help is appreciated.
