Assessing　the　environmental　impact　of　industrial　policy　is　of　great　importance　to　China＇s　industrial　green　transformation　and　high-quality　development,　while　this　topic　receives　little　attention　in　the　literature.　Based　on　the　panel　data　of　29　manufacturing　industrial　sectors　in　China＇s　30　provinces　from　2006　to　2015,　using　a　model　that　includes　the　year,　province,　and　industry　fixed-effect,　this　paper　fills　the　gap　by　exploring　whether　and　how　industrial　policy　affects　carbon　emission　in　Chinese　manufacturing.　The　result　shows　that　industrial　policy　significantly　increases　carbon　emission　in　supported　industries　by　10.3%,　which　is　achieved　by　increasing　industrial　energy　consumption,　relaxing　government　environmental　regulation,　and　encouraging　enterprises　to　invest　more　in　fixed　assets.　Further,　the　effects　of　industrial　policy　on　carbon　emission　are　heterogeneous　in　many　aspects.　In　the　central　and　western　regions,　technology-intensive　industries,　industries　with　stronger　government　intervention,　industries　with　higher　exports,　industries　supported　by　both　central　and　local　governments,　and　during　the　12th　Five-Year　Plan,　the　industrial　policy　will　increase　carbon　emissions　more.　Our　findings　for　the　first　time　indicate　the　negative　impact　of　industrial　policies　on　carbon　emission　reduction　in　the　Chinese　manufacturing　industry,　which　implies　that　traditional　selective　industrial　policies　in　developing　countries　like　China　need　a　paradigm　shift　to　achieve　green　development.
