This paper surveys behavior of 50 developed and developing countries about High Tech Exports using GLS technique on Panel Data for the period 1990-2005 with regard to price and non-price variables and identify factors affecting High Tech Export. The results show that the variables R&D, FDI, exchange rate, the degree of openness of economics and experiences resulting from trade in both groups of countries affect on High Tech Export positively and significantly and economic growth only in the group of developed countries affect on export of these productions.
