家庭能源消费转型:互联网使用和非农就业的影响

Household Energy Consumption Transition: The Impact of the Internet Use and Off-Farm Employment

鼓励家庭使用清洁能源,推进能源消费清洁化转型对可持续发展目标实现具有重要意义。本文结合清洁能源决策约束因素,采用中国家庭追踪调查CFPS 2016~2018年数据,通过三变量递归probit模型实证分析互联网使用、非农就业对农户家庭清洁炊事燃料使用的影响。结果表明,网络使用有助于促进家庭使用清洁能源,且平均边际效应为6.4%;参与非农就业会促进家庭使用清洁能源的概率提升1.45%。个体决策与家庭决策相互影响,修正双重选择偏误后,互联网使用和非农就业对促进家庭清洁用能仍具有显著正向影响。由此,在加强乡村网络基础设施建设的同时,注重农村劳动力向非农行业扩展问题,发挥政策组合效应,稳步推进家庭能源消费可持续发展。

It is significant to encourage households to use clean energy and promote the transformation of clean energy consumption to realize sustainable development goals. In this paper, the impacts of Internet use and non-agricultural employment on household clean cooking fuel use were empiri-cally analyzed by using a trivariate recursive probit model based on the data of China Family Panel Studies (CFPS 2016~2018) combined with the constraints of clean energy decision making. The results show that Internet use can promote household clean energy use, and the average marginal effect is 6.4 percent. Households with non-farm employment are 1.45 percent more likely to use clean energy. Individual decision-making and household decision-making interact with each other. After correcting the double selection bias, Internet use and non-agricultural employment still have a significantly positive effect on promoting household cleaning energy use. Therefore, while strengthening the construction of rural network infrastructure, the expansion of the rural labor force to non-agricultural industries also determines notice, using policy combination and steadily promoting the sustainable development of household energy consumption.
