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,…

You Will Get Paradise Killer. It's still Five Literal Dollars. You will get the 9 hour free roam mystery game starring a wide bisexual woman who kicks Complete Ass and has a lot of personal problems. It owns. Use the footbaths, trust me. It has COLLECTABLES. it has SHINJI. You'll like Shinji.

Art of Shinji from Paradise Killer, by Kaizengames, art for this design done by Gigalithic. Shinji is a blue humanoid with four arms, a vaugely deer like muzzle, and an otherwise rectangular head. He has four arms, all of which are busy symmetrically flipping you off American and Brit style. He's also squatting so deeply that whatever he has going on down there is censored by a somewhat odd shocked emoji face with three X's for eyes.

I crocheted that elephant for my sister. It went up in flames with the rest of the car in the one accident, though. You know. The one that didn’t kill her. That was the other one. 🌝

there’s a train going by that must be ab the same distance away as the one I heard every night growing up and I hated it then, but the same sound’s just now slapped me like a brick and it feels so meditative hearing it slowly peter out off into the distance like the present melting into the past

We report: we have been keeping an eye on the slow collapse of the sky. Our expert is comparing the state of each layer minute to minute, and there is a distinct bend in places where the weight is getting heavier. We do not know what we will do if it all ends up on the ground.

Digital painting of a dark grey, cloudy sky: there are ripples of different width and amplitude, deep, dark grooves, with a lighter sheen in some places. At the very bottom of the frame, there is a strip of white sky.

"It hadn't been since World War II since we've done that," Hegseth told Posobiec, describing how he thought it was a "no-brainer" to request a firing squad execution. "Well, I kind of like the mentality we had in World War II, which was win.
Which was understand when the enemy attacks you, you stand your ground."

This is also how I view the whole AI “entertainment catered to you” experience. I don’t come to art for things I already know and what I already want. And sometimes the new stuff isn’t stuff I like. That’s what taking in art is.
