講座主要内容：
Traditional biomass energy, such as firewood, straw and other crop residues, is a major source of household energy consumption in rural China. However, household energy consumption is nowundergoing a transition from biomass energy to modern commercial energy. As traditional biomass energy is mainly produced with family labor and is relatively labor intensive, an increase in wage rate would enhance opportunity costs of family labor. This therefore leads to a reduction in biomass energy production and consequently an increase in commercial energy consumption. This paper examines the impact of rising wage rate on energy choice and consumption in rural China. Using a unique panel data set collected from 409 families in 4 provinces, our results show that the wage rate at the village level has a significant negative impact on traditional biomass energy consumption. In addition, the consumption of electricity and renewable energy increase as local wage rate rises. Our analysis also finds that other factors, such as household wealth, access to markets, household size, average age of the household, education level of household head, and other household characteristics, play an important role in explaining China’s rural household energy consumption.
