Abstract: Environmental quality was introduced into production function as a factor of production to set up an engogenous growth model including transfer payment and environmental quality, and then the impact of transfer payment on environmental quality was analyzed theoretically. Based on China's provincial panel data of 30 provinces and autonomous regions from 2003 to 2013, the effect of China's transfer payment level on carbon emission was explored. The results showed that that there is significantly positive relationship between transfer payment level and carbon emission, the impact of China's transfer payment on carbon emission is exerted by the change of industrial structure, whose mediating effect accounts for 17.70%, and Western China has the strongest positive correlation coefficient of transfer payment and carbon emission, followed by Central China and Eastern China.

Key words: transfer payment, industrial structure, carbon emission, endogenous growth
