This study examines the relationship between corporate governance and firm performance and the relationship between corporate governance and capital structure. The capital structure determinants are also examined. The empirical investigation of this thesis is focused on 215 companies listed on the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) period from 2005 to 2009. This sample of firms excludes financial firms, insurance companies, investment companies, leasing and utilities firms. To examine the above relationships, we employ the panel data methodology running a set of multivariate regressions. Overall, the results support the importance of board governance variables to influence firm value and capital structure of the Greek listed firms. Moreover, we find evidence that the capital structure determinants exert influence on the leverage of the Greek listed firms
