Abstract
Our study is based on the “Agency Theory”, as it interprets the relationship between corporate governance and market capitalization of firms listed in Bahrain Bourse (BB). Longitudinal data is used in this study from 36 listed firms in Bahrain Bourse during the period of 2009-2013. A set of econometric methods, including the fixed effects method, is used to overcome different measurement problems of such relationship. The study findings include a set of results that are related to effect of ownership structure and board of directors’ characteristics on market capitalization of firms. Based on these findings, a set of recommendations, along with study limitations and future research, are put forward.
