More specifically, I am interested in how the exploration of potential new fields result in oil production forecasts that generate a chain of impacts beyond the activity of oil production per se - as, for instance, in forecasts of GDPs of nations, in stock market activity, in real state speculation, etc. Thanks for any help.
It might be more fruitful to delineate "generic social processes" (Robert Prus) that can be tranferred from one social setting to another. For example, "dealing with uncertainty" is a generic social process that one might find in research about oil exploration, or miners, or women giving birth for the 1st time in hospitals. Ultimately, finding these generic social processes give one's research a way to key in to the larger conversation.
"risk and uncertainty" is a fulcral point...
In portuguese context see "Trabalhamos sobre um barril de pólvora", de Paulo Granjo.
