Opplysninger | The study of structure and economics in Norwegian reindeer herding is commissioned by theMinistry of Agriculture and Food in order to better understand the relations between economicsustainability in reindeer herding and ownership-structure of ownership. Our conclusions are:(1) There is no clear connection between ownership structure and effectiveness in reindeer herding.The main reason is a strong, traditional capacity to cooperate flexibly irrespective of ownershipstructure. Co-operative groups, named siidas or districts, have long tradition in sami reindeerherding. The effect of flexible organizing is a rational decoupling of efficiency from distribution ofownership to reindeer. The organizational flexibility is also crucial for understanding the sami way ofcombining private ownership to animals with collective control of rights to exploit pasturage in orderto prevent or mitigate “The Tragedy of the Commons”.(2) Values created are distributed exclusively to the benefit of ownership to reindeer with no specificrewards to labor inputs, i.e. practical herding. As flock sizes are strictly limited in response totemporarily destabilized flock numbers causing overexploitation of pasturage in Finnmark county inparticular, rewarding large flock numbers adds to the conflict potential. The ceilings on flock sizesdeprive small flock holders of natural flexibility for growth and competition on effective herding. Thepattern of remuneration thus becomes a threat to future recruitment and long-term competencebuilding.
