Policy brief on emigration among Norway’s wealthiest

Emigration among the wealthiest has been a topic in the Norwegian public debate, and this new EXITNORWAY policy brief examines emigration among people in different wealth groups. The results show that 1) most people do not emigrate, even among the wealthiest, 2) emigration propensities are somewhat higher among people with very high net wealth (NOK 50 mill or more) compared to them with somewhat lower wealth, and 3) this relationship is less clear among immigrants than for natives.

Movers from the city in the first year of Covid (Nordic Journal of Urban Studies 2021)

Out-migration was high from many cities across the world in 2020. Some moved abroad, some moved to other parts of the country. In the paper Movers from the city in the first year of Covid, EXITNORWAY researcher Marianne Tønnessen examines the characteristics of those who moved away from Oslo in 2020. To a greater extent than in the preceding years, movers in 2020 had jobs where teleworking could be possible. For those who emigrated to another country, no teleworking effect was found.
