Eivind Erichsen (28 January 1917 – 21 January 2005) was a Norwegian economist and civil servant.
Life and career
He was born in Kristiania as a son of postmaster Erik Emanuel Erichsen (1884–1963) and Petra Antoine Olsen (1885–1930). In May 1944 he married Ingrid Holmboe.[1] She was a great-grandniece of Bernt Michael and Christopher Andreas Holmboe. The couple had two children.[2]
Erichsen graduated from the
Organisation for European Economic Co-operation from 1956 to 1957, he returned to Norway to serve as permanent under-secretary of State of the Ministry of Finance from 1957 to 1986.[6] He edged out the other applicants, Einar Grøstad and Sigurd Lorentzen, partly due to him being an economist and the other two being jurists.[7] He had another leave of absence from 1967 to 1968, when he worked with planning in Pakistan.[1]
He also chaired Statens Friluftsråd from 1965 to 1982. A festschrift was issued on his seventieth birthday, and in 1999 Erichsen released the retrospective Glimt fra et langt liv i Finansdepartementet. He died in January 2005 in Oslo.[1] He was decorated as a Commander with Star of the Order of St. Olav in 1982.[8]
