Earlier research demonstrates that different regions provides various terms. Consequently there exists a different economic structure among different households. Based on a selection of households from districts /villages from a range of geographical locations, management patterns, and region size, different economic structures are searched for. Households with similar economic structures are grouped in categories. The standard deviation confirms whether the grouping in categories. Sami Reindeer Management in Norway and Sweden has during the period from 1992/93 to 2002/03 provided recognized slaughterhouses with an even quantum of meat supply. That indicates that it probably is the same set of factors that influence the slaughter quantities of both countries. The relationship between the stock value of reindeer and the commercial value of reindeer meat, with in each household, suggests whether there is an accumulation in herd size and its magnitude. The herd increment depends on the competitive situation between the households in the district/village. As a single household cannot influence wholesale price of reindeer meat, the sales quantum is the single factor that can influence total sales. The efforts to increase herd size, due to the competitive situation, prevent the household from a maximum slaughter quantum, which thereby reduce the returns from reindeer management. Common factors for the different structures are sought for. The indication is that nether sale price of reindeer meat or line of politics influence sales quantum. The Sami reindeer herding seams to be a way of life were the size of the reindeer herd is in focus.</p><p>Analys av den samiska rensk&ouml;tselns ekonomiska tillpassning. Renen, int&auml;ktsk&auml;lla eller kulturf&auml;ste?</p><p>Abstract in Swedish / Sammandrag: I denna studie analyseras hur olika rensk&ouml;tarhush&aring;lls ekonomier &auml;r strukturerad samt hur de tillpassar sig de ekonomiska f&ouml;ruts&auml;ttningar som existerar f&ouml;r att maximera den ekonomiska avkastningen, i de fall en ekonomisk vinstmaximering &auml;r m&aring;ls&auml;ttningen. Tidigare forskning visar att rensk&ouml;tselomr&aring;den uppvisar skilda betingelser. K&ouml;ttf&ouml;rs&auml;ljningv&auml;rde, produktionsbidrag och ers&auml;ttningsstorlek vid f&ouml;rlust av renar skiljer sig &aring;t. Fr&auml;mst mellan Norge och Sverige men &auml;ven regionalt inom det enskilda landet. Det medf&ouml;r att det existerar olika ekonomiska strukturer hos rensk&ouml;tarhush&aring;llen. Genom ett urval av hush&aring;ll fr&aring;n olika distrikt och samebyar baserat p&aring; geografisk lokalisering, driftsm&ouml;nster och rensk&ouml;tselsomr&aring;desstorlek s&ouml;ks olika ekonomiska strukturer. Hush&aring;ll med liknade ekonomisk struktur grupperas i kategorier. Standardavvikelsen bekr&auml;ftar om hush&aring;llen bildar en hush&aring;llskategori. Den samiska rensk&ouml;tseln i Norge och rensk&ouml;tseln Sverige har fr&aring;n &aring;r 1992/93 till &aring;r 2002/03 haft en kvantitetsm&auml;ssigt j&auml;mn k&ouml;ttf&ouml;rs&auml;ljningsniv&aring; till godk&auml;nda slakterier. Det indikerar att det troligtvis &auml;r samma faktorer som p&aring;verkar l&auml;ndernas slaktkvantitet. F&ouml;rh&aring;llandet mellan lagerv&auml;rde av renar och f&ouml;rs&auml;ljningsv&auml;rdet av renk&ouml;tt, i det enskilda hush&aring;llet, &aring;sk&aring;dligg&ouml;r om det f&ouml;religger n&aring;gon tillv&auml;xt i renantalet och tillv&auml;xtens storlek. Tillv&auml;xten i renantalet beror av den konkurrenssituation som finns mellan hush&aring;llen inom distriktet/samebyn. Str&auml;van efter att uppn&aring; ett h&ouml;gre renantal, p&aring; grund av konkurrenssituationen, f&ouml;rhindrar hush&aring;llet att g&ouml;ra ett maximalt slaktuttag vilket d&auml;rmed minskar avkastningen fr&aring;n rensk&ouml;tseln. Allt pekar mot att slaktkvantiteten inte p&aring;verkas av uppk&ouml;pspriset p&aring; renk&ouml;tt eller av politiska tilltag. Den samiska rensk&ouml;tseln tycks vara en levnadss&auml;tt d&auml;r renantalet st&aring;r i centrum.</p> ER -
