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,…

Not everything needs to be polished into the same familiar shape. We need games that feel like they could only have been made by these people, from this place, carrying this history. We need artists with something strange, specific and deeply human to say. That ai could never.

#spaceshiptember #sst26 #sst2026 d10, irl edition! (TPSH-9D93 Lechuza) I'm still pretty new to larger designs and have a tendency to fill the shape with bricks, rather than making interesting artistic decisions, so I wanted to make the 9D78 more detailed and complex as practice.

The more you act like starting 1,000 art WIPs is a bad thing the harder it will be to get started. Imagine a little gremlin on your shoulder being like, "Oh, another new piece? Can't you finish anything?" Sounds motivating, right? :| RIGHT?? The whippings will continue until morale improves!

In regions with high pirate activity and low Authority presence (which usually go hand-in-hand), the local Legion will organize outfits to escort merchant ships along their routes.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

This was good practice on the "production" side of the art, as it's pushing me to generate a reasonable cost palette of bricks instead of relying on the default "everything" palette, and figuring out how to design my larger models with cheaper internals so I can budget for the good bits

Ordering a #LEGO model to build was a valuable opportunity to figure out how the BrickLink marketplace works, which is that you *really* don't want to use the "Auto-select" button as you'll end up with many small orders and shipping will greatly increase the price (41%!)
A model which should have cost $68 ended up being $115 instead!

Which is extra frustrating because Outlaws has a setting that is very easy to turn into a "gotta go to the next cool place for Arbitrary Reasons" story, but actually strings it together in a way that makes a lot of sense and felt more like a fun reveal of the next location every time
