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,…

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

Fully agree. Chelsea got off lightly, but two huge differences. Ownership had already changed and they cooperated. City keep doing the exact opposite. They're basically waging a legal war against the holders of the competition they play in. Pretty bonkers really.

Boris @borishamilton.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

They need to be banned from the premier league and forced to sell. No idea if it's possible, but it should happen.

He's so biased one wonders if he's still on their payroll, and on top that, he's as thick as a wire brush. Unlike his hair.

“Anyhow, it’s not something new, because every four or five years this comes up. Manchester City is not guilty and the fact of having a double contract isn’t my problem but theirs, probably.” Aye, in the same way Carlsberg is "probably" the best beer in the world.

I absolutely get that. But look at PSG. It took them a while to get the balance right. They're cheats first and foremost, mot denying that. Just saying you can still cheat and not win.

Boris @borishamilton.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Both can be true. They assembled very good teams, albeit by cheating. They could have assembled average teams having cheated as well. Look at the early days of the PSG takeover. Tons of money spent with little logic or understanding of how to build a team.

@gunnerblog.bsky.social #arsecastextra goodly morning, here's more or a bonus question, could even be a question for the waffle. Do you have any personal anecdotes about dealing with cheats at football or any other game?

010

Boris @borishamilton.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

40 point deduction for the same amount of seasons they were found guilty of cheating in. So 12? Something like that. That's fairer. Plus a monetary fine. Plus transfer ban for 3 full years. Basically, encourage the owners to sell.

Boris @borishamilton.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Hey remember, Mikel frequently often steps out of his technical area and this is what *really* brings the game into disrepute.

"Meaningless big numbers"... A big like the fortune City's owners possess.

Boris @borishamilton.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

The first big error the Premier League made was letting an Oligarch buy a club. The second, much bigger, was allowing a city state to buy a club. They screwed up long ago. City have them by the balls imho. They will, as known cheats, be able to negotiate their "penalty". It's disgusting.

Boris @borishamilton.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Probably the correct way to do it. Premier League are also guilty of negligence. This should be remembered as a dark period.

Worse even, his friend. It was very naive of him to ask Mackelmore to join him on tour. He put himself in a situation where he could only lose.

Not here to defend Israel, but history didn't start on October 7th. That's why it's more complicated. Set the start date of "history" at 1943 for example, and your numbers will massively favour Zionists.

Thank you for introducing this game to me. Absolutely love it. I got tired of wordle and this will nicely replace it.

#arsecastextra @gunnerblog.bsky.social morning gents. Was this game an example of where it would have been good to be able to go long to bypass their intense press and rely on a strong technical target man flanked by fast wingers, players we simply don't have?

Boris @borishamilton.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

My take from today's 3-0 defeat to Brighton is that if you lose nearly all 50-50s, how can they still be 50-50s? (I'm always available for Alan Partridge style punditry.)

100% Reminded me of the games against Stoke, except the atmosphere in Sunderland is even more intense and the technical ability of their players higher.

Matchday 4 and we have a clear referee and VAR error to give a penalty against Arsenal, and a clear VAR error to award a goal to Man City.
