Basic information on the two data sets.

Each data set looks at the companies registered in one country and their shareholders from any country for the year 2014. There is no information on many of the Companies as the numbers above indicate. The number of edges in our shareholder network is based on the information available on the shareholding information. The slope γ of a power-law degree distribution of similar slope, P(k) ∼ k−γ, is a rough characterisation to illustrate the broad distributions. ‘LCC’ is the largest connected component.
