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,…

Looks like the South Carolina Stingrays are trying out former UMD Duluth women's goaltender Colleen Jacoby, who currently seems to be an attorney working in the Charleston area. Really cool.

I’ve ranted about this many times now but at this point I would just cut my losses and forget his contract was even there for half the season. I’d let him sit at home to send a message and wait until holidays to even resume talking about it.

Why can’t there be a tv show like Dancing with the Stars but instead of teaching dancing, experts teach contestants math/science/history/literature/art etc and then they get quizzed and someone goes home each week (not a knock on dwts, I just wish we elevated other things as well)

the thing about "separating the art from the artist" is that it comes from academic circles where they were trying to separate an artist's views from an interpretation of their work as an intellectual exercise, not as a way to give people moral carte blanche to support shitty people

Kommer ni ihåg de där äldre häftigare snubbarna som hängde på ens fester i tonåren och som bara fortsatte med nästa kull när vi själva blev äldre? Och hur de en dag blev så gamla att de slutade vara häftiga och bara var äckliga. Där är Sverigedemokraterna nu. Skrev om det. www.dn.se/kultur/johan...

Unga konservativa män avgjorde valet 2022. Då kunde Jimmie Åkesson 43 tydligen ännu framstå som relaterbar och skön. Allt talar för att den tiden är förbi.
