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,…

Our new survey looks at Americans’ views ahead of the 2026 midterm election. We found a deep public dissatisfaction with the state of the nation, near-record low approval of President Donald Trump and growing negativity about national economic conditions.
Chart showing Americans’ satisfaction with how things are going in the country remains low.

You can now read Carlos Vargas Moreno's story at The Guardian. Carlos was an H-2A worker who experienced a debilitating heat stroke in 2022 after being subjected to unsafe work conditions by his employer, Florida Orange Gold. Two years prior, another Florida Orange Gold worker died of heat stroke.
theguardian.com
Heatstroke ruined his health. Years before, it took the life of another farm worker at the same company
A farm labor contractor exposed laborers on H-2A agricultural visas to heat-related health hazards, but the contractor is still bringing hundreds of migrant farm workers to North Carolina

New: Chris Rufo & his co-host devoted a podcast to "The Indian Question," framing Desi people as a problem to be solved. Their "solution?" Mass expulsion. For those allowed to remain: an “assimilation hazing process” w/ instances of “vulgar, defamatory racism" talkingpointsmemo.com/news/chris-r...

these direct comparisons can be overdone, but hers is not a novel line of thought once you’re willing to see some children as just future bloodthirsty savages who’ll try to kill you — therefore its self-defense to kill those kids now — you are already lost and there’s no transgression too far

Q. Will you explain to the Tribunal what conceivable threat to the security of the Wehrmacht a child constituted in your judg-ment?

A. I believe I cannot add anything to your previous question.

I did not have to determine the danger but the order contained that all Jews including the children were considered to constitute a danger for the security of this area.

Q. Will you agree that there was absolutely no rational basis for killing children except genocide and the killing of races?

A. I believe that it is very simple to explain if one starts from the fact that this order did not only try to achieve security, but also permanent security because the children would grow up and surely, being the children of parents who had been killed, they would constitute a danger no smaller than that of the parents.

My hypothesis is that jurisdictions that let police screen rape cases arrest, prosecute, and convict at a lower rate than those that have prosecutors involved from day 1. We have never had data to test it, but we might now. This is one of my current projects.

This is interesting, but I think AI employees retrofitting AI with a moral sense might be a category error

Yesterday, violent Islamophobe Tommy Robinson was featured as a live Blackjack dealer on BetBolt, an online crypto casino. Robinson said that any money he made from the partnership would be donated to fellow extremist Danny Tommo, who recently was arrested for slashing a boat full of migrants in UK.

It's impossible to say with words just how unpopular the Israeli state is right now, worldwide.
A letter from the owners of the Irish Lir Bar in Berlin, apologizing for showing the Ireland vs Israel footy match, not understanding it's customers, that they stand with Palestine against genocide, and will be donating it's profits this past weekend to the Palestinian Relief fund.

I guess it's just for the benefit of American Zionists whose support he thinks he needs?
