“…A number of scholars have found that the transfer payment policy for ecological functional areas increases the efficiency of a region's green economy, improves the quality of its ecological environment, and promotes the development of a regional green economy (Chen et al, 2021(Chen et al, , 2023Yang, 2023). However, some studies have shown that transfer payments provided by the central government to resource-exhausted cities can exacerbate haze pollution in local cities, as well as limit technological innovation and high-tech industrial agglomeration (Yang et al, 2023).…”

The impact of government behavior on emission reductions has gained widespread attention, but fewer studies have explored the relationship between vertical transfers (VT) and carbon emissions (CE). We empirically test the CE reduction mechanism of VT by constructing two‐way fixed effects models based on data of 278 Chinese cities from 2005 to 2020. Empirical analysis finds that VT reduce the taxing efforts of local governments and the tax burden of enterprises, promote the upgrading of enterprises' production technology, and ultimately reduces CE. Conclusions suggest that transfer payments should be actively used to establish preferential policies to assist enterprises in reducing CE.
