Christina Tvarnø

Presentation

Christina Tvarnø''s main research area is private partnering contracts in the Danish construction industry and Danish contract law. She defines the partnering contract as a contract based on trust, corporation, open books, joint utility and incentives between the parties, e.g. the building owner, the architect, the engineer and the constructor. Partnering is a different type of contract compared to the traditional Danish construction contracts based on the contract law in general. Christina has focused her research on the economic influence on the Danish partnering contract, e.g. strategic alliances, optimal contracts, relational norms and social contracts, and Christina has investigated the legal effects of contracting on those economic terms. Christina Tvarnø has also investigated the difference between public private partnering contracts and the private financed PPP contract and the effect from the EU-procurement rules. She is also interested in the research area of harmonization of European Contract Law, Comparative Law and Economics as well as Legal Theory.
