Improving organisation categories table with GUO level information #547

Closed Christovis closed 2 years ago

Christovis commented 2 years ago

The table that connects stakeholders, to market sectors and nationalities might be too vague about the connection between subsidiary and parent company. In Justus Baron & Olia Kanevskaia 2021 have used the level of the global ultimate owner (GUO) to indicate the affiliation of a participant in SDO meetings.

I would suggest, if not already done and verified, to adapt this approach and include information on the GUO in the table, as it is the standard assumption in economic research that firm conduct is determined at the GUO level.

What do you think @nllz ?
