And Deeper We Go

Welcome back for the second instalment of my weekly blog!

Over the past week, I have been developing my research questions further to really find what it is that I will be compiling into my report later this semester. I have found various sources of data which further the purpose of my research and emphasise the tech industry in Thailand as a driver for the economy. This includes research by MIT on ‘The Observatory of Economic Complexity’ showing the breakdown of all exports from the country. ( https://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/profile/country/tha/ )

With this new data, I am more confident in my choice to delve into the tech industry and its effect on the economy. This site is quite intriguing as it raises more interesting questions about individual exports and it’s economic components. I now want to look further into countries that Thailand relies on to buy their tech goods such as computers and integrated circuits. Does the economic prosperity of the major importer’s of Thailands tech industry affect the overall trade balance in the economy? This opens up another angle for research questions involving Thailands dependence on the rest of the world. (Even more regressions, YAY!).

I’m happy with the pace I’m setting at this current stage and can’t wait to check back in next week!
