摘要：This study has conducted to investigate relationship among corporate ownership, corporate leverage and its impact on the firm value while using a random sample of eighty non-financial listed firms on Karachi Stock Exchange, Pakistan for a period of 2003 to 2010. The empirical results supported fixed effect regression between leverage and ownership structure variables. Institutional ownership is negatively related with the leverage while managerial ownership has insignificant due to the fact that non-liner relationship exists with leverage. Therefore, leverage can be substituted with the institutional ownership. Second model shows relationship between the firm value and blockholders. There exists a positive significant relationship between the firm value and blockholders. Three regression models are estimated for the relationship of ownership structure corporate leverage and firm’s value. There empirical results suggested that leverage and Tobin’s Q has negatively related with managerial share ownership (MSO) while the second equation suggests that Tobin’s Q has negative relation with leverage, managerial share ownership square (MSO2) while positively related with managerial share ownership (MSO). The third equation suggests that leverage is positively related with Tobin’s Q while negatively related with managerial share ownership (MSO).thus it has verified that corporate ownership determined corporate leverage and corporate leverage has direct impact on the firm value.
