요약The agricultural sector is transforming in response to economic, social, and environmental pressures. These shifts influence aspects like how farms grow, how farms manage animal disease, and how farmers sustain their well-being. This dissertation contributes to these discussions by studying the effects of urbanization on farm size and livestock disease, as well as analyzing farmers' financial well-being.The first essay is titled "Urbanization and the Industrialization of Agriculture". As urban environments expand, urban pressure is likely to generate increased competition for resources used in the agricultural sector, like land and labor. This paper assesses the effects of this urban pressure on the size and exit patterns for local farms. The results suggest that the effects of urbanization on nearby farms are fundamentally heterogeneous. Increasing urban pressure causes smaller farms in neighboring areas to downsize or exit the industry, whereas large farms scale up in the face of growing urban pressures. In other words, local competition for resources as a result of urbanization can serve as an important mechanism for agricultural industrialization.The second essay is titled "Urbanization and Livestock Disease: Evidence from Bovine Tuberculosis in Great Britain". Urban expansion is reshaping agricultural sectors, leading to unexpected and unclear externalities through the spread of livestock disease. This paper assesses the effects of urbanization on the presence, intensity, and prevalence of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in Great Britain. The results suggest that while localized urbanization can slightly alleviate the local bTB situation, urbanization across a larger area can aggravate it. In other words, the externalities of urbanization on local and regional livestock disease are heterogeneous. I estimate that the externalities of urbanization on bTB can result in about £1.7 million in direct cattle death losses in Great Britain per year, and £11 million in general economic loss each year in the UK.The third essay is titled "Financial Well-Being of Farm Households: A Theoretical Framework and Application". The complexity of people's subjective consciousness has led some economists to rethink how to measure financial well-being (FWB). Historically, only objective financial measures were well considered. However, now subjective well-being measures, which take individuals' feelings and perceptions into account, are being incorporated. This paper proposes an innovative framework for studying farmers' FWB and applies it to U.S. beef producers. The conceptual framework I built consists of two sections: the determinants and measurements of farm households' FWB. In the determinants section, the framework analyzes the determinants of farm households through micro, meso, and macro levels, as well as their impacts on household or farm aspects. For the measurement section, besides financial ratios to measure objective FWB, I construct a survey to measure subjective FWB. Furthermore, a visualization evaluation figure is provided to present the measurement results. I then apply our framework to cattle grazing households in the U.S. This application illustrates our framework, shows its advantages, and examines the effects of some determinants on FWB.
