Abstract: Based on the data of prefecturelevel cities in China from 2007 to 2020, this study explores whether fiscal environmental protection expenditure can empower green technology progress, through what mechanism it is transmitted, and the heterogeneous characteristics it presents. The research results indicate that fiscal environmental protection expenditure can significantly promote green technology progress. From the transmission mechanism test, it is found that fiscal environmental protection expenditure can indirectly stimulate local green technology progress through the mediating effect of the adjustment of industrial structure. In addition, the transmission mechanism exhibits nonlinear threshold characteristics. With the optimization of industrial structure, the promotion effect of fiscal environmental protection expenditure on green technology progress shows a nonlinear trend of marginal increment. From the perspective of heterogeneity analysis, fiscal environmental protection expenditure significantly empowers green technology progress in lowlevel cities and midwest regions, with the transmission mechanism established in these regions.

Key words: fiscal environmental protection expenditure; green technology progress; industrial structure adjustment; transmission mechanism
