Abstract
The trade of environmental services has attracted the attention of international
economists concerned with foreign trade, especially at the end of the twentieth century
and the beginning of the twenty-first century. The liberalization of trade in these services
has made a quantum leap for the developed and developing countries, especially the
members of the World Trade Organization; Growth in the trade in these services has been
accompanied by growth in commodity trade, as well as by their higher contribution to the
gross domestic product (GDP) of those countries. The problem of research is the lack of
relative diversity in the environmental services of the countries sample research, forcing
them to foreign trade for the purpose of providing import and use to stimulate economic
growth. The research is based on the hypothesis that there is or is no impact of the trade
of environmental services in the economic growth of the selected countries. The aim of
the research is to assess the impact of foreign trade, especially the trade of environmental
services in the economic growth of a sample of the member countries of the World Trade
Organization. The research treated the theoretical side of the trade of environmental
services, focusing on the main indicators of this trade, as well as the quantitative analysis
of the impact of trade of these services in economic growth. The results of the research
found that the net trade in environmental services, population, carbon dioxide emissions
and fossil fuels had a positive and significant effect on the (GDP) values of most of the
countries of the sample while it had a negative and insignificant effect for some of them.
The research put forward several proposals, the most important of which is the
development of environmental protection laws and regulations that reflect the economic
economists concerned with foreign trade, especially at the end of the twentieth century
and the beginning of the twenty-first century. The liberalization of trade in these services

Abstract
شغلت تجارة الخدمات البيئية اهتمام الاقتصاديين الدوليين المعنيين بشؤون التجارة الخارجية، وخاصة في نهاية القرن العشرين ومطلع القرن الحادي والعشرين، اذ ان تحرير تجارة هذه الخدمات حقق قفزة نوعية لدول العالم المتقدمة والنامية وخاصة الاعضاء في منظمة التجارة العالمية والتي سيطرت على الحجم الاكبر من التجارة الدولية، واصبح النمو في تجارة هذه الخدمات يواكب النمو في تجارة السلع، فضلا عن ارتفاع مساهمتها في الناتج المحلي الاجمالي لتلك الدول. وتتلخص مشكلة البحث بعدم التنوع النسبي في الخدمات البيئية للدول عينة البحث، مما يضطرها الى التجارة الخارجية لغرض توفيرها باستيرادها واستخدامها لتحفيز نموها الاقتصادي، ويستند البحث الى فرضية مفادها وجود او عدم وجود تأثير لتجارة الخدمات البيئية في النمو الاقتصادي للدول المختارة، ويهدف البحث الى تقدير اثر التجارة الخارجية ونخص منها تجارة الخدمات البيئية في النمو الاقتصادي لعينة من الدول الاعضاء في منظمة التجارة العالمية، وتناول البحث الجانب النظري لتجارة الخدمات البيئية، والتركيز على المؤشرات الرئيسة لتلك التجارة، فضلا عن التحليل الكمي لأثر تجارة تلك الخدمات في النمو الاقتصادي لها، وتوصل البحث الى مجموعة من الاستنتاجات اهمها ضمن نتائج التحليل القياسي فقد تبين ان متغيرات صافي تجارة الخدمات البيئية والسكان وانبعاثات غاز ثاني اوكسيد الكاربون والوقود الاحفوري كان لها تأثيرها الايجابي والمعنوي في قيم الناتج المحلي الاجمالي لمعظم دول العينة، بينما كانت ذات تأثير سلبي وغير معنوي للبعض منها، وطرح البحث مقترحات عدة اهمها تطوير قوانين وانظمة حماية البيئة التي تعبر عن الاداء الاقتصادي والبيئي فضلا عن عمل دراسات مستقبلية مكملة لهذا البحث .
