Valuation and Its Problems
Science and Technology Studies scholars have in recent years made a major impact on the conjoining field of Social Studies of Markets, demonstrating how economics is performative and actively takes part in shaping markets. Research has shown how markets emerge through processes of economization, organization, and design, in which economic theory becomes inscribed through devices and material arrangements. But economics do not always perform and o…
Ressursforvaltning og sparevilje
Den norske forvaltningen av olje- og gassrikdommene fremstår i store trekk som en suksess. Den har vært underlagt en betydelig grad av politisk styring med stor deltakelse fra norske selskaper i utvinning og leveranser, og staten har bygget opp et stort oljefond. I artikkelen diskuterer jeg en del bredere forutsetninger for dette: Dels handler det om at staten har høy legitimitet, og at Norge har en tradisjon for sparing, særlig på statens hender…
Losing autonomy
In the mid-twentieth century a number of central banks around the western world lost their operational autonomy and were placed under government control. The origin of these policy changes can be traced to the intellectual and political developments of the interwar era in addition to the introduction of the Bretton Woods monetary system. The Norwegian central bank offers a particularly stark example of this phenomenon: experiencing a rapid declin…

The Norwegian Government Pension Fund, or more commonly the Norwegian Petroleum Fund, established in 1990, is the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund. The fund is commonly regarded as a successful product of economic foresight in a country with strong traditions of long-term planning. As the fund was established in a period during which leading social scientists strongly doubted the ability of Norwegian political and administrative institutions…

A Norwegian fixation
In a number of European countries, credit markets were characterised by heavy regulations of quantities and prices, in terms of interest rates, in the post war years. In Norway, the regulations became more vigorous and lasted much longer, than most other countries. This article seeks to explain the extent and persistence of the policy by tracing the role of leading economists, of financial sector, and political considerations in relation to growt…
Context and Contingency
At the present time, the Norwegian state owns a large number of business enterprises. The state controls around 35 percent of the total values on the Oslo Stock Exchange, and five of the seven largest listed companies are partially owned by the state, ranging from 34 to 64 percent. This article traces the background of state ownership from the formative phase of state involvement in the modern economy, and it demonstrates how this ownership provi…
Masters and Servants
In the dispute over Norwegian EEC membership in 1972, a large number of economists in academic life and public administration took part in organised opposition against future membership. Their efforts to prevent economic and financial integration with the Common Market are important for understanding the depth and strength of Norwegian Euroscepticism. This article shows how this scepticism was rooted in the economic profession's reasoning about e…

The Rise and Fall of Sampling Surveys in Norway, 1875-1906
Argument Norwegian statisticians were pioneers in the development of sampling techniques for social and economic investigations in the late nineteenth century. After a few years of extensive use of sampling surveys in large-scale social and economic investigations, the method fell out of use in the early 1900s. This article supports Alain Desrosières' argument that the emergence of sampling procedures in social investigations must be seen in rela…
Numbering the nationalities
Between 1845 and 1930 the relatively small minority groups in Norway - the Samis and Kvens - were counted in Norwegian censuses on the basis of 'objective' criteria settled by the State's Central Bureau of Statistics. The censuses data supplied a foundation for the repressive policy towards minorities. But in identifying alien nationalities within the Norwegian borders, the census classifications also contributed in shaping the boundaries between…
Statistical thinking in Norway in the nineteenth century
The article discusses statistical reasoning in Norway in the neneteenth century against the background of the contemporary development of statistics and social surveys in Europe. Perspectives from the recent literature are also used to identify some main turning points in the Norwegian development. The gradual break away from the German statistical tradition of the 1700s is analyzed with the writings of Anton Martin Schweigaard, professor and pol…
