Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is economics a science? | Adam Mastroianni
Q: What would a paradigmatic psychology or economics look like, if we started from control systems and deeper metaphysical assumptions?
A paradigmatic approach would anchor theories in the mind as a network of control systems, with specific rules and set points guiding behavior, moving beyond superficial descriptors like 'extraversion' to underlying mechanisms that generate observed patterns.
Is economics a science? | Adam Mastroianni
Q: What do we mean when we use the word science, and can economics be considered a science based on methods instead of mood?
Science is about the mood and desire to uncover true, useful knowledge about the world and may involve varied methods; economics can be scientific in its own right when it seeks to understand and model how humans interact under certain constraints, rather than strictly adhering to a single traditional method.
Is the wealth tax actually working for Norway | Prof. Ole-Andreas Næss
Q: What happened with the 2022 reform and the exit of wealthy individuals from Norway?
There was a notable exodus of wealthy individuals moving abroad to avoid higher taxes on unrealized gains, which highlighted a loophole—later closed by policy changes to tax unrealized gains even if the assets are held abroad.
Is the wealth tax actually working for Norway | Prof. Ole-Andreas Næss
Q: How does the wealth tax actually operate in terms of which assets are taxed and how they are valued?
Assets are valued using a mix of market values for easily priced items, book values for unlisted assets, and a discount on housing values so only a portion of the value is taxed, with the aim of targeting wealth without overburdening homeowners.
How are Europe's economies holding up? Dr. Oscar Arse (ECB)
Q: How does the ECB view inflation prospects given these shocks, and what is the balance between inflation risks and growth risks right now?
Inflation is expected to stay higher than normal for a period, with a convergence back toward the 2% target over the medium term. The ECB relies on its baseline scenario but remains attentive to non-linear risks if energy disruptions persist or buffers run down. The policy response hinges on price stability as the primary mandate, with activity and employment shaping the transmission of monetary policy across markets.
