Intersectoral Linkages in Oil Palm Industry between Malaysia and Indonesia

Transformation Versus Stagnation in the Oil Palm Industry: A Comparison Between Malaysia and Nigeria

Palm Oil and Palm Waste Potential in Indonesia

The expansion of oil palm cultivation in Indonesia has been driven by a strong world demand for food especially fats and oils. Commencing in the island of Sumatra, it spread out to other island like Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Irian but not to the island of Bali which was already well developed. The role of palm oil in developing remote inland regions and improving the standard of living of rural ...

Growth Through Intersectoral Knowledge Linkages

The majority of innovations are developed by multi-technology (or multi-sector) firms. The knowledge needed to invent new products is more easily adapted from some sectors than from others. Here, we study this network of knowledge linkages between sectors and its impact on firm innovation and aggregate growth. We develop a general equilibrium model of multi-sector firm innovation in which inter...

Experimental Biodiversity Enrichment in Oil-Palm-Dominated Landscapes in Indonesia

Tropical biodiversity is threatened by the expansion of oil-palm plantations. Reduced-impact farming systems such as agroforests, have been proposed to increase biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. In regions where oil-palm plantations already dominate the landscape, this increase can only be achieved through systematic ecological restoration. However, our knowledge about the underlying ecol...
