Scandinavia is using oil and gas reserves as a captive tax base. It doesn't really generalize to markets where capital is mobile.

That is only Norway. Maybe a little bit of Denmark, but Denmark is not considered an oil economy.

And I don't know what you mean with "captive tax base" but Norway just piles up the wealth they are too afraid to use it since it will increase the inflation.
