Yes, they do. The references section is on pages 130-133 in the report...

No?

https://wir2026.wid.world/

https://wir2026.wid.world/www-site/uploads/2026/04/World_Inequality_Report_2026.pdf

pages 130 to 133 is about "Chapter 7. Global Taxation of Multi-Millionaires"

Searching for references does bring up something page 206, but again, more half of their sources are just themselves.

Actually the only two external sources are the world inequality report from 2022 and the "real time inequality" by the national bureau of economic research.

Did you actually visit the link?

Like, it’s a giant button that says “download the report”.

Ah, I read the other report. Heh.

Doesn't solve the problem that they also don't publish the data for that. But at least that pdf does have sources.
