      Berzins, Janis; Bøhren, Øyvind; Stacescu, Bogdan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)

      Bøhren, Øyvind; Staubo, Siv (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Norway is the first, and so far the only, country to mandate a minimum fraction of female and male directors on corporate boards. We find that after a new gender balance law surprisingly stipulated that the firm must be ...

      Bøhren, Øyvind; Hoseth, Fredrik; Remøy, Håvard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)

    • Mandatory gender balance and board independence 

      Bøhren, Øyvind; Staubo, Siv (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      We find that forcing radical gender balance on corporate boards is associated with increased board independence and reduced firm value. A mandatory 40-percent gender quota shifts the average fraction of independent directors ...

      Berzins, Janis; Bøhren, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Vi dokumenterer at familiebedriftene utgjør en betydelig andel av norsk økonomi regnet etter antall, ansatte, omsetning og eiendeler. Eierstyringen i den enkelte familiebedrift kjennetegnes av uvanlig tett kopling mellom ...

      Bøhren, Øyvind; Gjærum, Per Ivar; Hasle, Torkel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Vi bruker kvantitativ livsløpsanalyse (vugge-til-grav) og finner at solceller på private boligtak har stor, positiv effekt på klima og økonomi når de lages med ren, billig strøm og erstatter skitten, dyr strøm. Beliggenhet ...

    • Stakeholder conflicts and dividend policy 

      Bøhren, Øyvind; Josefsen, Morten G.; Steen, Pål E. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)

      Berzins, Janis; Bøhren, Øyvind; Stacescu, Bogdan (CCGR Working Paper;2/2013, Working paper, 2013)

    • The economics of minority freezeouts: evidence from the courtroom 

      Bøhren, Øyvind; Krosvik, Nils Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
