Abstract: Based on the annual data of the China Integrated Social Conditions Survey 2019,the effect mechanism of Internet use on the expansion and upgrading of rural residents’ household consumption structure was explored by using the instrumental variables method, propensity score matching method and quantile regression. The results showed that Internet use could release rural residents’ consumption potential and promote the expansion and upgrading of rural residents’ household consumption structure. And the impact of Internet use on low-income rural residents was greater than that of high-income rural residents. As the consumption level increased, the positive effect of Internet use on the upgrading of rural residents’ household consumption structure gradually diminished.

Key words: rural residents, consumption structure, consumption upgrading, Internet, common wealth
