This paper,based on the MicroSAM of consumption of Jiangsu rural residents in 2002,studies on open net effects of consumption of Jiangsu rural residents' behaviors in China through different commodities and services consumption and different groups of incomes,by decomposing SAM-based multipliers.Also,this paper compares accounting multipliers and fixed price multipliers.We draw the main conclusions as follows: Firstly,residence,food and traffic and communications are consumption hotspots for Jiangsu rural residents at present,but people put less attention to recreation,education and cultural services,clothing and medicine and medical services;Secondly,except for the higher of rural residents,all groups of earnings in Jiangsu have higher consumption desire and greater consumption potential to household facilities and services;Thirdly,the middle-lower and the lower of rural residents have higher consumption desire to medicine and medical services and recreation,education and cultural services.Hence,the government should give some help on correlative welfare policy to advance the development of these two group's consumptions;Finally,to keep on the development of Jiangsu traffic and communications,the government also needs to enhance basic establishments of rural traffic and communications to change consumption behaviors of rural residents.
