Same argument as below - As a reply to Idar Kreutzer, group managing director of Storebrand and chairman of the board of The Association of the Financial Industry

Er norske økonomer blinde? , in Aftenposten, 19 Oct. ("Are Norwegian economists blind?") local copy

As a reply to Prof Kjell Storsletten. The argument is that money are legal claims to resources, and since the oil revenue consists of foreign money, the Norwegian oil fund is a claim on foreign resources. As such they cannot effect higher demand and inflation in Norway. Quite the opposite: For the best long term effects on Norwegian society the claims should be used for import of productive resources, such as competence and real capital in health, research and infrastructure.
