Based on farm panel data was empirically investigate the determinants of Polish farm households’ flexibility from 1994 to 2001. we focus on scale flexibility (adjustment in production volume) and scope flexibility (adjustment in product mix).The findings of our fixed-effects regression provide evidence that smaller farms are more flexible, both with regard to scale and scope of production. Farms with a higher share of variable costs tended to be more flexible, while producers who specialized in capital- intensive technologies turned out to be less flexible.Some results differ significantly from the prevailing expectations, in particular we found that farms where a generational succession took place displayed less flexibility over time.
