Abstract: -This study investigates the impact of institutional ownership, and foreign ownership in determining the Palestinian firm performance. This study is based on panel data of 200 observationsfrom non-financial firms listed on the Palestine Security Exchange (PSE) during the period from 2009 to 2016. The panel data regression result show that the institutional and foreign ownership hinder corporate performance. The result suggests that the firms which are held shares by institutions and foreigners have less performance.The study is timely given that the ownership structure plays pivotal roles in determining the performance. The previous studies in Palestine are very limited and the previous empirical studies in the developed country have provided mixed results on the relationship between ownership structure and firm performance. It, therefore, becomes a necessity to examine the impact of ownership structures on the performance of Palestinian Listed Companies.
