<p>Every closed immersion is a finite morphism. Can you give an example of quasi-projective varieties $X\subset Y$ such that inclusion $X\hookrightarrow Y$ is not finite? Same with Y projective?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Sorry this question is very simple, I made a mistake asking the question.

<p>An open immersion is never finite unless it is also a closed immersion (for finite morphisms are proper). So you just need to take a non-empty open subset $X$ which is not a connected component in $Y$. </p>
