Tiivistelmä
Agriculture and agricultural policy in Finland and Norway have shared many common
features in the past, except that Finland joined the European Union in 1995. In this
article, we examine profitability and productivity dynamics in Finnish and Norwegian
farms during the period 1991 to 2008. Our analysis draws on a decomposition of prof-
itability change into various sources. The results provide evidence that the stronger lib-
eralisation of agricultural policy in Finland has provided greater flexibility for farmers to
change and thus has created better scope for productivity and profitability improvements
compared with Norway.
