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,…

👁️ Delhi, India. Pandwala Khurd Community Centre. Civilians that attended a peaceful protest (including children) were kidnapped and beaten by authorities. 📸 from disha verma’s (@di_shawarma on X/Twitter) recount. Though the civilians have been released, international solidarity is needed 👇

This is the most horrific detention story you will hear today.
At 8 PM, this bus stopped at a community centre in Pandwalan Khurd (see photo).
Detainees fractured. Four minors present. Everyone barbarically beaten up. No lawyers allowed to enter.
This is how we got here.disha verma @di_shawarma • 36m
...
Peaceful protestors were detained from CP & taken to LIC—in a space sealed off from lawyers, journalists, crowds.
They were made to kneel down in a row.
Cops frisked them & physically snatched all their phones.
One by one, they deleted videos and photos, and kept their phones.

...
The detainees were told, time and again, that nothing will happen to them if they cooperated.
They did. And then they got brutalised. One by one, in those tiny bus compartments-everyone was hit.
An officer identified to lead this extrajudicial violence is named ARVIND KUMAR.disha verma @di_shawarma • 36m
• ••
They then profiled & selected some detainees and took them into buses used for convicts, with tiny compartments & no airflow.
@DelhiPolice then BEAT THEM UP, black & blue. It was described to us as "merciless thrashing" with only screams escaping that suffocating, jail-like bus.

We have learned of a website (which we are not linking to) that is charging people to pay to play knockoffs of popular board games like Catan, Wingspan, Agricola and more - different names, crappy art, same mechanics.

Looked up this guy. He's a musician in San Diego. There's an interesting profile on him from last year. On Instagram in the comments to the original video he says he's always been anti-Trump, but had kept his mouth shut until now, but won't stay silent any more sandiegotroubadour.com/alex-bergan-...
