Doctrine — stated goals and content

Centre-right reform coalition under Bondevik (KrF) with Hoeyre as the economic driver. Economic school: Norwegian market-liberal/ordoliberal — adoption of the handlingsregelen fiscal rule (March 2001, expected real return on Petroleum Fund set at 4%, later reduced to 3%), the 2004-2006 tax reform lowering top marginal rates and introducing the aksjonaermodellen (shareholder model / RRA). Left-right axis: centre- right. Dated policies: handlingsregelen adoption (March 2001, crossed Bondevik-I's gas-power principle in a sense by consolidating oil- revenue use), 2004 tax reform commission (Skauge Report), pension reform agreement (Stortingsmelding 12 2004-2005). Popularity: won 2001 election but lost 2005 decisively to Stoltenberg's red-green coalition. Coherence: moderate — KrF and Hoeyre differed on abortion/cultural policy but coalesced on the handlingsregelen and tax reform.
