Increasing Profit By Rice Export Reduction Among Union Members, Narabhatra Sangmanacharoen

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Over the past decades, OPEC which coordinates petroleum policies among members has agreed to cut supply to raise oil price. With a consensus elasticity of -0.13, oil is an inelastic commodity, a reduction in production results in a huge increase in price. It is noticeable that OPEC can increase oil price because they altogether possess a large amount of global oil supply. It is interesting whether this strategy can be used with rice to increase its price by reducing its supply. Because rice elasticity ranges between -0.51 and -0.13, rice is also an inelastic commodity. Although rice and oil have …

Singaporean Malays' Perspectives Of Income Inequality And Its Impact On Their Opportunities In Singapore’S Education System, Ngak Leng Tan

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Studies on the profile of income inequality revealed that Singaporean Malays continuously occupied the lowest income strata and fared relatively poorer in their academic performance compared to other races. In a highly competitive meritocratic education system that rewards relative merit, yet neglects how unequal backgrounds provided unfair starting points for some, such low-income Malay households may appear to be systemically disadvantaged by income inequality and their access to better education. Under these circumstances, income inequality is further perpetuated. Through the use of focus group discussions and in-depth interviews, my proposed research will seek to understand how Singaporean Malays perceive such …
