In this paper, multiplier decomposition is adopted to examine the effects of expanding grain-based fuel ethanol and cassava-based fuel ethanol on agriculture in China. The results show that, reasonable development of grain-based fuel ethanol has a greater role than cassava-based fuel ethanol in accelerating China’s economy, improve rural household’s income, and mitigate gap between rich and poor
