In this chapter we consider some of the policy options which are opened up for the next four years in the light of the development of the North Sea resources.

Notes

note (1) in page 20 The full details of the calculations are available in an unpublished NIESR paper by A. J. H. Dean on ‘North Sea oil and the UK growth rate’. Because oil is valued at the world price (exclusive of UK indirect taxes), these figures are closer to a factor cost than to a market price concept of GDP.
