Research Interests
Blomkvist specializes in corporate finance mechanisms including IPO dynamics, mergers and acquisitions, and board governance structures. His work examines energy price volatility impacts on financial markets, venture capital's role in startup financing, and alternative investment vehicles promoting sustainability. Recent research increasingly intersects with ESG principles, analyzing gender diversity policies, shareholder responses to governance reforms, and green equity crowdfunding's socioeconomic effects.

Publication Trends
His 2024-2025 output reveals three dominant research streams: (1) governance innovations examining gender quotas, military experience on boards, and political connections; (2) energy-finance linkages studying oil price uncertainty effects on IPOs and M&A; and (3) sustainable finance exploring crowdfunding's role in green job creation. Methodologically, he combines empirical analysis of large datasets with theoretical modeling, frequently collaborating across European institutions.
