The main objective of this study is to estimate the long-run relationship between exports and environment quality indices for Iran over the period 1971-2007. In this study, the CO2 emissions and arable land are used as a proxy for the environmental quality. We estimate the model using the multivariate Johansen's co-integration technique. The results reveal that there is a long-run relationship between exports and CO2 emissions and arable land. Moreover, the variables of exports and FDI have negative and significant effects on the environmental quality indices.
