One widely observed fact associated with rural household livestock production in many developing countries is an inverted-U shape relationship between household livestock production and the level of economic development or farm household income. Poor farmers typically raise few livestock. As their income grows, poor rural households <italic>gradually</italic> expand their livestock holdings. However, after household income reaches a certain level, livestock production in most households falls. This dissertation attempts to uncover fundamental economic factors that help to generate this inverted-U relationship. This dissertation contains three papers.

This dissertation attempts to uncover fundamental economic factors that help to generate this inverted-U relationship. This dissertation contains three papers.
520 $a In the first paper, using data sets from different countries, I first establish the fact that the inverted-U relationship between income and livestock is a common feature of farm household livestock production in developing countries. I then argue that underlying economic factors can be categorized into three groups: the development of markets, risk, and other economic factors that affect the opportunities costs of family resources. Based on the results using one comprehensive farm household survey conducted in China, I show that these three groups of factors can explain the evolving pattern of backyard hog production observed in several key hog producing provinces in China between 1986 and 1996
