內容介紹：
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. A sound understanding of the energy transition pattern of rural households will provide valuable insights for policy makers aiming to facilitate transition towards sustainable energy consumption. Using the large longitudinal household panel data drawn from the National Rural Fixed Point Survey (2004-2011) collected by the Ministry of Agriculture, this study investigates residential fuel choice in rural China. Using a carefully selected set of proxy variables, we found that fuel availability, accessibility, affordability and applicability play important roles in determining household choices of cooking fuels in rural China. Our results are also robust to alternative model specifications.
