Abstract

This study examines the effects of ownership structure on corporate profitability of Automobile firms in Iran through the period 2005 to 2007. The ownership structure is considered in terms of (i) controlling ownership,(ii)managerial ownership, including managerial financ ial firm ownership and managerial-non-financial firm ownership. Using a ccounting profitability: Return on Assets (ROA) and Sales to Assets (S\A) as measure of profitability, the overall findings confirm that there is a positive association between controlling owne rship and firms' profitability. The firms with controlling ownership are more profitable than those with noncontrolling ownership in Automobile firms in Iran. There is a positive relationship between managerial ownership and firms' profitability, and firms with manager ial-financial firm ownership are more profitable than those with managerial-non-financial firm ownership.
