Instability to be expected in future
‘We can expect increased instability in the Norwegian economy going forward. Norway is affected by global uncertainty, and we are now seeing the Corona virus causing increased uncertainty in the markets,’ says Gernot Doppelhofer, Professor at NHH.
EU growth the lowest in five years. We should be concerned
The economic trend in Europe must be reversed. EU countries must introduce reforms that yield a high return in the long term. The politicians, however, are too focused on short-term solutions.
Disagreement about the world’s biggest pension fund
Who should manage Norway’s enormous oil wealth? Should Norway’s ‘Oil Fund’ be moved out of Norges Bank? Three NHH researchers outline possible solutions.
Catching up in Europe
Europe's economic growth is driven by poorer countries and regions that are catching up to the wealthier areas.
Criticising European politicians
Political leaders in the EU countries draw sharp criticism from Professor Gernot P. Doppelhofer. He believes weak decision-makers and poor communication are fuelling the crisis in Southern Europe.
