[PEN-L:3788] Norway, the FTA and the EEA

Hi Trond! Am I mistaken in thinking that the EEA gives Norwegians the right to work anywhere in the EEA, which the FTA did not? Regards, Rick The parliamentary majority/gvt. was/is so eager to get us in (to the EEA) that they sold out/sell out for nothing in return!

Rick Wicks replies to me, on Tue, 16 Apr 1996: Am I mistaken in thinking that the EEA gives Norwegians the right to work anywhere in the EEA, which the FTA did not? There are two points to make in reply to this: 1) Yes, it does, and the FTA didn't. At the same time the EEA also gives EU

To Doug H. Even if Mork, et al are correct it does not necessarily undo the broader JMK story, even if his precise remarks about the stock market may be undermined. The broader story is that the state of "long-term expectation" or animal spirits drives investment. That also shows up in

[PEN-L:3803] Re: stock market and investment

I haven't read Mork from Ork, et al's paper but it makes sense to me that one could reject the causation of stock-market events -- real investment. But, as Chris N. says, doesn't mean that Keynes was wrong. Didn't Keynes say that speculative bubbles could pop without having any effect if the
