  • How Selection Mechanisms in Financial Institutions Contribute to Regional Path Development
    How selection mechanisms in financial institutions contribute to regional path development Martin Gjelsvik Research Manager/Professor II IRIS/University of Stavanger, Norway E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper addresses an issue absent in most studies on regional economic development, the role of financial institutions. The study concentrates on how the financial institutions select which firms and projects to fund, and how the selection mechanisms enable or constrain development trajectories in their respective regions. The study is guided by an evolutionary perspective on regional economic development, invoking the concept of path dependency. In that context, financial institutions may contribute to path extension, path renewal, path transplantation or path creation. The paper is based on a study of financial institutions in four Norwegian regions, and offers micro-level insights on what is selected to form the four respective path developments. We find that banks primarily support path extensions and to some degree path renewal. Venture capital has turned into private equity funds and has become more risk averse. They contribute primarily to restructuring of existing industries. Seed capital to fund start-ups is scarce, and has become even scarcer after the financial crisis. 1 Introduction Financial institutions are obviously a vital element in the regional innovation ecology. However, they are mostly absent in accounts of regional innovation systems. When financial institutions are dealt with in this context, the focus is generally confined to the role of venture capital. Surprisingly, the role of banks in regional development are left out. This paper addresses this gap by discussing the role of a differentiated set of financial institutions, including banks, venture capital, seed capital and wealthy individuals.

  • 2 Millioner I Gave Fra Sparebankstiftelsen DNB NOR Til Oppgradering Og Tilrettelegging for Aktivitet for Barn På Krisesentrene
    2 millioner i gave fra Sparebankstiftelsen DNB NOR til oppgradering og tilrettelegging for aktivitet for barn på krisesentrene Sparebankstiftelsen DNB NOR har etter søknad fra Krisesentersekretariatet innvilget 2 millioner kroner til krisesentrene på Østlandet. Gaven skal brukes til å oppgradere og tilrettelegge for barn og unge som bor eller er i kontakt med et krisesenter. Til tross for tiltak, forskning og flere rettigheter bor det hvert år mellom 1600 og 2000 barn ved norske krisesentre. Alderssammensettingen blant barna har stort sett vært stabil over tid. Omtrent halvparten av barna er under 5 år, mens en av tre er i alderen seks til tolv år. I 2011 var 13 % av barna mellom 13 til 17 år. Til sammen overnattet barna 61 095 døgn på et krisesenter dette året. Nasjonale statistikker viser at krisesentrene har ulike fasiliteter rettet mot barn og ungdom. I 2011 rapporterer 21 av de 48 krisesentrene at de har ungdomsrom, 25 hadde aktivitetsrom og 40 har lekerom for de mindre barna. Mange av de ansatte ved krisesentrene forteller at rommene som er tilrettelagt for barn og unge er lite funksjonelle, nedslitt og dårlig sikret, eller om utearealer som trengs å forbedres. Alle disse utfordringene i forhold til gode aktivitetstilbud for barn og unge har vært vanskelig for flere av krisesentrene å oppgradere grunnet stram økonomi. Dette til tross for at krisesentrene blir finansiert med offentlig støtte. Krisesentrene er derfor svært glad for nå å kunne gi et bedre aktivitetstilbud til barn ved hjelp av midlene fra Sparebankstiftelsen DNB NOR. Studier viser at betydningen av lek og aktiviteter for barn som bor på krisesentrene, kan gjennomarbeide vanskelige erfaringer, og at lek og aktiviteter har en selvhelbredende funksjon.

  • Three Episodes of Financial Fragility in Norway Since the 1890S by Karsten R Gerdrup*

ISSN 1020-0959 (print) ISSN 1682-7678 (online) Abstract This paper provides for the first time a comparative study of three major banking crises in Norway (1899-1905, 1920-28 and 1988-92), and presents financial and macroeconomic data spanning more than 130 years. Financial sector development appears to be closely linked to booms and busts in economic activity during these years. The boom periods that preceded each of the three crises all have some common features: they were characterised by significant bank expansion, considerable asset price inflation and increased indebtedness. The non-financial sector increased its debt only slightly more than its income during the first two boom periods, but subsequent deflation increased its debt burden.
