This article aims to explain how the market for land functioned in medieval south-west Finland. The data show that in medieval times land was increasingly treated as something to be transferred in return for ready money, albeit within the limits set by the interests of the family. The land market was open to large segments of society, suggesting that barriers to entry were low. It was characterised by strong vertical integration, although asymmetric, as the majority of the transactions took place between participants from different social groups. The article will also consider the high degree of geographical integration in the land market.

中世纪芬兰西南部土地市场的兴起

本文旨在解释中世纪芬兰西南部土地市场的运作方式。数据显示，在中世纪时期，土地越来越多地被视为可以转让以换取现款的东西，尽管是在家庭利益设定的范围内。土地市场对社会的大部分人开放，这表明进入门槛很低。它的特点是强大的垂直整合，尽管不对称，因为大部分交易发生在来自不同社会群体的参与者之间。本文还将考虑土地市场的高度地域一体化。
