      This current research contributes to the concept of consumer-based food label equity (CBFLE) by testing the predictive validity of a scale developed by Coderre et al. (2022) in the sustainability and health domains of seafood products. In Study 1 (N = 301; between-within subjects), we found that scores on all subscales, except the (Dis)honesty subscale, were significantly related to willingness to ...

This study investigated consumer reactions to such labels using data from 602 Scandinavian consumers. The results indicate a positive association between label performance (willingness to buy, pay in a local currency, pay ...

    • Informed investors, screening, and sorting on the London capital market, 1891-1913 

      Fjesme, Sturla Lyngnes; Hannah, Leslie; Moore, Lyndon (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-02)
      Thousands of prospectuses offered shares to British investors at the turn of the twentieth century. We find evidence that there were informed investors who participated in the market at this time. Firms that attracted additional investor demand were more likely to be listed on the London Stock Exchange, survive longer, and achieve better long-run equity returns. We find that the exchange screened ...

      Borge, Baard Herman; Vaale, Lars-Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-06)
      I denne artikkelen settes det omfattende norske rettsoppgjøret slik det ble gjennomført i Telemark, inn i en større, internasjonal ramme. I mai 1945 var det autoritære NS-regimet falt, og en overgang tilbake til demokrati hadde funnet sted. I slike situasjoner må nye makthavere ta stilling til hvordan overgrep begått av deres forgjengere skal håndteres. En del land har avstått fra å straffeforfølge ...

A conjoint experiment was used to test with a hypothetical purchasing task for young consumers (n=91) the potential of motivating stimulus on smart shopping carts to influence healthier ...

    • Intensjon til netthandel og fysisk handel 

      Olsen, Fredrik; Klaudiussen, Ida Karoline (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-31)
      Koronapandemien førte til at flere konsumenter ble tvunget til å handle klær på nett, når fysiske butikker ble nedstengt. Dette har skapt en permanent effekt hvor man er blitt mer komfortable til å handle klær på nett, selv etter gjenåpning av fysiske butikker. I vår modell har ønsket vi å se på sensorisk stimulering, bekvemmelighet, kostnader og oppfattet risiko, og i hvor stor grad disse påvirker ...

    • Startup Competitions Decoded: Unpacking the Phenomenon's Dimensions 

      Elmi, Malek; Bertella, Giovanna; Castriotta, Manuel (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2023-09-18)
      Drawing on a typological theorizing style (Cornelissen, 2017), this paper investigates and deconstructs the fuzzy nature of startup competitions (Cornelissen, Höllerer and Seidl, 2021).

Uansett motiver for å delta på en filmfestival er tilstedeværelsen avgjørende for øyeblikkopplevelsen. Digitalisering samt siste års pandemi har vist oss at denne tilstedeværelsen kan være digital så vel som fysisk. Nye, innovative teknologiløsninger kan hjelpe bedrifter og reisemål til å ...

    • Økonomiske konsekvenser for mindre aktører av ulike skattemodeller i havbruk: En komparativ analyse av den norske og den færøyske modellen 

      Rokvam, Vegard Østli; Winther, Arnt Gunnar (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-29)
      Denne oppgaven handler om Finansdepartementets forslag til innføring av grunnrenteskatt i havbruksnæringen. Begrunnelsen for å innføre en slik skatt er at den ekstra profitten, eller grunnrenten som havbruksnæringen tjener gjennom statlige reguleringer av begrensede ressurser, også skal komme felleskapet til gode. Som svar på Finansdepartementets forslag har Sjømat Norge fremmet en alternativ metode ...

      Hals, Jørgen Schulze; Lund, Henrik (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-06-01)
      Denne oppgaven ønsker å gi svar på om Forsvaret selekterer ledere for fremtiden, og hvorvidt lederopptaket predikerer senere karriereprestasjoner. Riktig seleksjon er viktig for alle organisasjoner, men spesielt viktig for Forsvaret som med sitt mandat i ytterste konsekvens gir lederen ansvar for oppdrag som kan bety forskjellen på liv eller død. Det er gjennomført en longitunell undersøkelse ...
