Abstract

This paper studies the income redistribution effect of fiscal transfer payment in detail by analyzing the panel data of 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China from 1999 to 2014. The results show that, in China, fiscal transfer expenditure reduces the per capita income of urban and rural areas, increases the income of urban and rural residents with a stronger effect on the increase of rural residents' income. As far as the region is concerned, the fiscal transfer expenditure has little effect on or slightly expand the income gap between urban and rural areas in the eastern region, while it has a light role in widening the income gap between urban and rural residents in the central region and has narrowed the income gap between urban and rural areas in the western region. In view of the above conclusions, this paper puts forward some countermeasures.
