UBS Foundation Professor Florian Scheuer has been featured in a San Francisco Chronicle investigation into California's proposed "billionaire tax" — a ballot initiative that would impose a one-time 5% wealth levy on the state's roughly 200 billionaires to fund public health care.

The piece examines whether the tax would truly devastate Silicon Valley or whether fears of a billionaire exodus are overblown. Scheuer, who has studied a potential U.S. wealth tax, draws on Switzerland's long-standing experience with wealth taxation to offer a nuanced perspective.
