Abstract

Ownership structure is a crucial determinant factor of the corporate governance measurement and has been associated, in prior studies, with the profitability of firms. The current study investigates the effect of ownership structure on the firm's performance in the period of financial crisis. The authors focus on the food and beverage (F&B) industry since this sector has been affected less than others by the economic recession. Exploring the listed F&B beverage in the Athens Stock Exchange for seven years during the crisis period in Greece, the authors have found evidence for the effect of ownership structure on firm performance as it has been reflected in the accounting and financial market indicators. The findings for the relation between ownership structure and firms' performance, measured with accounting indices, are different from those in which the performance has been measured with market indices.
