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,…

As a broader point, the Administration is war with data collection. The goal is simple: you can't prove racial discrimination in court if the government doesn't collect data by race. You can't show climate change if the government dismantles climate monitoring. This is Authoritarianism 101.

To expand on this: Bigotry isn't a result of an innocent misunderstanding, or not having all the facts. It's not a choice made rationally, defeated with a rational argument. Bigotry is a self-protective, foundational belief used to help make the world make sense to them. Debate won't change that.

The Trump administration accused Jefferson County schools of having 61 "biological males" on girls teams. It turns out there were 0, and no trans girls either. They have to manufacture problems that don't exist.

Screenshot of article text against a dark background reading:
"In March, the administration announced that Jeffco had violated federal nondiscrimination laws by allowing students access to restrooms, locker rooms and sports teams based on their gender identity instead of biological sex. A key data point was that 61 boys were participating on girls' athletic teams. The figure startled even district officials, mostly because, they said, there were no transgender girls competing on girls' teams.
The district said the Trump administration had misinterpreted the information. Though the records show male participants on girls' teams, they were team managers and mascots, not athletes. District officials said the federal government also may have confused a cross-country roster in which the same coach oversees separate programs for boys and girls."

This vibrant 1990s silk furisode showcases the enduring appeal of botan (peony) motifs, reimagined through modern design approaches.
The garment features an exuberant display of peonies in brilliant blues, purples, yellows, and greens set against a dramatic black ground, creating a bold color palette that reflects the confident, expressive spirit of 1990s fashion. The composition demonstrates sophisticated spatial organization, with the floral motifs arranged in dynamic clusters that create visual movement across the textile's surface, while maintaining the classical balance essential to traditional Japanese design principles.

The detail images reveal the extraordinary technical sophistication of the piece, particularly in the treatment of individual peony blooms where subtle color gradations create dimensional effects that make the flowers appear almost luminous against their dark background. The silver glazing outlines add a contemporary metallic accent that enhances the flowers' definition while creating subtle light-catching effects that would have been particularly striking when worn. The kinkoma (couching) technique, where decorative threads are laid on the surface and secured with smaller stitches, adds textural richness and dimensional quality to key design elements, elevating the work beyond simple printed or woven patterns into the realm of textile sculpture.

The furisode format itself - the long-sleeved kimono traditionally worn by unmarried women for formal occasions - provides the perfect canvas for this exuberant floral display, as the extended sleeves allow the pattern to flow and cascade in movement. The peony motifs carry deep symbolic significance in Japanese culture, representing honor, wealth, bravery, and feminine beauty, making them particularly appropriate for a young woman's formal garment. This 1990s interpretation of classical motifs reflects the period's embrace of maximalist aesthetics and technological innovation in textile production.
