Abstract

The article studies the relationship between ownership structure and performance of the Slovenian join stock companies, with special focus on the comparison of performance of state- and privately-owned joint stock companies and ownership concentration. The empirical analysis employs firm-level annual financial reports data and data on ownership structure of all Slovenian join stock companies for the 2005–2017 period. Using panel regression analyses we find that Slovenian state-owned joint stock companies are less profitable than their privately-owned counterparts. In contrast, we do not observe statistically significant relationship between ownership concentration and firm performance. The empirical findings point on the need of further actions in improvement of corporate governance of state-owned firms in Slovenia.
