Desirable outputs often accompany with undesirable outputs in industrial production activities. Considering CO2 emission as an proxy variable of environmental effects and putting it into the study framework based on Total Factor Production Theory and Direction Distance Function,this paper sets up models for measuring environmental performance of China's industry sectors and introduces the idea of environment regulation into its research system. Three industry environmental performance indicators are given out,including the value of environmental inefficiency,environmental regulation cost,and environmental performance index. This paper studies the industry panel data on 38 industry sectors from 1990 to 2010 from time dimension and industry dimension. The results show that:( 1) environmental inefficiency occurs in most Chinese industry sectors,showing that there is some room for CO2 emission reduction and output increase;( 2) most industry sectors have environmental regulation cost,which indicates that coordinated development of the industry economics and environment has not been realized yet;( 3) the three environmental performance indicators are tested as an inverted"U"shape,which implies that environmental regulation can achieve win-win of environmental quality improvement and industrial productivity increase;( 4) light-heavy industrial structure improvements,continuous capital deepening and industrial production technology increasing play an important role in industry carbon emission reduction.
