內容簡介：
Solid fuels (coal and fuelwood) are still widely used by over 400 million people in rural China, which brings severe health, local as well as global environmental consequences. However, there is substantial spatial and temporal heterogeneity in residential fuel choices and energy transition towards higher quality fuels across the different regions in rural China. In this study, we analyse residential fuel choice in rural China using a large 8-year panel of over 20,000 households collected by China’s Ministry of Agriculture. Access to energy supply is found to be critical for rural households to transit towards higher quality commercial fuels. There is a significant non-linear income effect in residential energy transition. Our evidence is consistent with Auffhammer and Wolfram (2014), who suggests that income and ownership of household appliances in China also follows a non-linear relationship. We also found a significant trend of transition from coal to gas fuels, but not from fuelwood to higher quality fuels.
