I am very excited to release WordLevel, an open source Python package for comparing texts at the word level! wordlevel.dev WordLevel makes it easy to compare texts with measures ranging from the Jensen-Shannon divergence to dictionary-based sentiment, and visualize them as word shift graphs.

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,…

Excited to share our new paper, “What AI Benchmarks Actually Measure: Adapting Convergent and Discriminant Validity to Interrogate Fifty-Six AI Benchmarks,” accepted as an oral at COLM! arxiv.org/pdf/2609.08812
Heatmap of average correlations between model rankings on benchmarks grouped into 11 assigned concepts: four capability concepts (reasoning, knowledge, comprehension, summarization) and seven safety concepts (over-refusal, refusal, safety detection, ethics, bias, privacy, unsafe behavior). Diagonal cells show within-concept correlations, ranging from 0.87 (knowledge) and 0.72 (over-refusal) down to 0.20 (bias) and 0.02 (safety detection). Reasoning, knowledge, and comprehension correlate with each other at 0.69 to 0.78, higher than reasoning's and comprehension's own within-concept values (0.66 and 0.68). Ethics correlates more with knowledge (0.70) than with itself (0.55), and bias correlates more with capability concepts (0.41 to 0.45) than with itself (0.20). Privacy and unsafe behavior correlate negatively with reasoning, knowledge, and comprehension (−0.41 to −0.49). Over-refusal and refusal correlate at −0.42.
