Popis:	We analyze the impacts of power supply, tap water, and other public services on the demand for color TVs, washing machines, and refrigerators in rural China using data from a survey of 20,000 rural households in 1999 designed for this research. We find that the provision of public goods and the improvements in their quality have significant positive effects on the demand for the three appliances. We draw inferences for the whole country and discuss the policy implications.
