Neil Freiman和Toby Howell讨论了美国建立主权财富基金的可能性。他们指出,虽然特朗普和拜登政府都对此表示兴趣,认为这可以帮助美国在与中国的技术竞争中占据优势,但美国巨额的财政赤字和缺乏像石油等主要自然资源作为资金来源,使得该计划的可行性存疑。他们比较了其他拥有主权财富基金的国家,例如挪威和阿布扎比,这些国家通常拥有丰富的自然资源作为资金来源。他们认为,美国建立主权财富基金的必要性值得商榷,因为美国已经通过其他途径(例如基础设施建设和技术投资法案)对相关领域进行投资。 他们还讨论了美国现有23个州级主权财富基金的情况,并质疑建立国家级基金的必要性。他们认为,如果美国真的需要一个主权财富基金,那么资金来源是一个关键问题,因为美国长期以来财政赤字严重。
