I am an associated researcher at the Europen Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) and the Centre for Corporate Governance Research (CCGR).

Research areas

The main research question that I have considered concerns the real effects of bank shocks and bank market integration on outcome variables such as bank lending to small businesses, firm investment and cash management, and inter-regional risk sharing. I have also done work on shareholder activism and how social capital sustain the viability of the savings bank organizational form.
Currently, Im working on governance in Norwegian industrial corporations in the early 20th century and on entrepreneurial firms. My work has been published in the Journal of Finance, the Review of Financial Studies, the Review of Finance, and the Journal of Political Economy.

Cash flow sensitivities and bank-finance shocks in non-listed firms

International Journal of Banking, Accounting and Finance, 11(1), s. 35- 70. Doi: 10.1504/IJBAAF.2020.104483 - Fulltekst i vitenarkiv

We study how small firms manage cash flows by estimating cash flow sensitivities for all sources and uses of cash. Our data are Norwegian non-listed firms which can be matched to the banks they borrow from. Firms with low cash holdings mainly use external finance to offset cash flow fluctuations over the cycle, whereas firms with high cash holdings rely mainly on internal finance. Estimating how cash flow sensitivities change with exogenous bank shocks, we find that the cyclicality of cash-poor firms' investment is amplified because they do not substitute internal for external finance. Our results imply that for small firms, the transmission of financial shocks to the real economy is closely tied to their accumulation of cash.
