Overview of the data
Average profit weight over time
For every pair of companies, how much the shareholders of one (counted by their votes) also own of the other, relative to their stake in their own company; averaged over all pairs (universal ownership) and over pairs in the same industry, i.e. the same 4-digit SIC code (common ownership). All companies are shown faded. Click a quarter to see its ownership below.
Computed from the current data release, using every firm in the sample. Published papers used earlier releases and samples, so their figures differ slightly.
