Background

These data come from a six-year research project, concluded in 1976, on corporate power in nine European countries and the United States. Each matrix represents corporate interlocks among the major business entities of two countries - the Netherlands (SZCID) and West Germany (SZCIG).

The volume describing this study, referenced below, includes six chapters on network theoretical and analytical issues related to data of this type.
