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,…

Interesting to read this alongside Nolan’s interpretation of The Odyssey. A restatement of the liberal bourgeoisie myth against its own (fascist) instantiations? A fascism of the self and family to counter political uncertainty?

Working on a long term project to answer just how much money was spent on anti-trans political ads between 2018-2025. The numbers on Meta are pretty staggering. Matt Walsh alone spent over $8 million on anti-trans ads followed by $3.5 million by the Daily Wire and $2.6 million by PragerU.
A two-part data table analyzing anti-trans versus pro-trans advertising spending. The first table, "Over time," shows that between 2018–2023, anti-trans spending totaled $12.2M versus $0.44M for pro-trans, and from 2024–2025, it was $9.8M anti-trans versus $1.13M pro-trans. A note highlights that the per-year anti-trans spending rate intensified 2.5 times in the recent cycle. The second table, "The top advertisers are overwhelmingly conservative media and advocacy orgs," lists Matt Walsh ($8.8M), PragerU ($2.6M), DailyWire+ / Daily Wire ($3.5M), Alliance Defending Freedom ($0.84M), and Ben Shapiro ($0.65M) as top anti-trans spenders. A concluding summary notes that the Daily Wire media ecosystem accounts for approximately 60% of all anti-trans spending, while candidate campaigns themselves spent only $72K on explicitly anti-trans content.
