Marius Ring is an economist with research interests in household and public finance, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship and taxation. In recent work, he shows that wealth taxation can incentivize households to save more rather than less. Prior to joining the Department of Economics at Yale, Ring did his PhD at Northwestern University and was an Assistant Professor of Finance at the University of Texas. In ongoing work, he studies the optimal decoupling of income tax accrual and payment, the effects of business regulation on entrepreneurship, the role of personal holding companies in causing tax regressivity, and how differential taxation of safe versus risky assets (like stocks) affect households’ portfolio composition.
Marius Ring is a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research and is affiliated with BI Norwegian Business School and Norwegian Fiscal Studies at the University of Oslo.
