Retired edtech specialist at Swedish university. Now disillusioned with the tech industry and concerned about our future of climate crisis and rampant tyranny. I find solace in hiking, reading, sport and music. Även på svenska, finska, danska eller norska.

Almost a team that will very seldom play for the county. We'll need three full teams to cope with players on central contracts, IPL, Hundred and goodness knows what other franchise gigs are going. Basically too much cricket and something will have to give.

Delighted that Navi Pillay, chair of the UN commission which found Israel guilty of genocide in Gaza, has won the Nobel Peace Prize. Let Trump and Netanyahu splutter and fume: the truth becomes ever harder to deny.

Tyckte före valet att det inte fanns någon "röd-grön" allians och nu ser vi att de inte klarar av att bilda en regering. Vid ev omval kommer Tidö att hävda att endast de kan bilda en regering som håller. De röd-gröna är bara V och MP.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

Talande genomgång om den öppna rasism som råder i svensk media. Inte en enda tidning är i närheten av en neutral rapportering. Den ”bästa” tidningen nämner fortfarande Israeliska dödsfall 6 ggr oftare än palestinska. Undra på att folkmordet bara fortsätter och fortsätter. www.etc.se/story/rekord...
