Tax pipes from NHH (Trygve Hegnar’s manager, Finansavisen)
The Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) has something they call the Center for tax research, and professors Petter Bjerksund and Guttorm Schjelderup do research there. The professors’ main message is “lower tax for business owners now than under Stoltenberg.” Well, it has been a long time since Stoltenberg was here. In the meantime, we have had Erna Solberg and Høyre. The surprise is that the two professors’ research is a laundering of SSB’s brain spin from 2021 where money that has not been paid out as salary or dividend was called income on which tax was not paid.. This is not research. It’s pipes. As SV, Rødt, Agenda, Ap and others without tax knowledge use diligently. “Where the starting point is the craziest, the result is often the most original.” (Peer Gynt). The seas

Senior economist on house prices: – No obstacle for Norges Bank (DN)

Doubts about political risk hypothesis (DN)
Foreign investors have net sold shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange for three quarters in a row, but experts deny that there is talk of a larger flight.

It can therefore hardly be claimed that there is a major foreign flight from Norway, says chief economist Bjørn-Roger Wilhelmsen at Nordkinn Asset Management. The seas
