Abstract

The current study investigates the industrial performance of Pakistani firms by taking in to account Bailout as an independent variable. ROA (return on assets), ROE (return on equity), ROS (return on sales) and EPS (earning per share) are used to measure firm performance. Historical Data from 373 industries from 2009- 2014 are used to deduce the findings by applying linear Regression analysis and Hausman test. Results proved that Bailout have negative impact on the performance of the firms operating in Pakistan. Study also includes valuable recommendation for the future researchers.
