Abstract

This study tries to analyze the ownership dynamics, especially in the context of firm innovation and firm performance with the inclusion of ownership structure as a moderating variable. The existing research lacks a comprehensive analysis of ownership structure, so this study fills this research gap. For that purpose, data is collected for 50 non-financial firms listed at PSX, the data period is 2017-2022 which leads to a total of 300 firm-year observations. Firm Innovation (FI) positively relates to Firm Performance (FP) and ownership concentration has a positive but insignificant relationship with FP, while insider ownership shows a negative and insignificant relation. This interplay between innovation, ownership structure, and FP leads to some suggestions for policymakers, business leaders, and investors to enhance innovation and FP.

Keywords: Ownership Structure, Firm Innovation, Firm Performance, and Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX)
