No 29, OECD Corporate Governance Working Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: The role of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the global economy has increased significantly since 2000. This paper presents a novel methodology to build the OECD Global State-Owned Enterprises Dataset. The dataset will allow policymakers to track their evolution, compare their characteristics across countries and over time, and analyse their impact on economic outcomes. By compiling ownership information at firm-level and applying a consistent SOE definition, the dataset addresses inconsistencies arising from differing national definitions and reporting standards, and provides a reliable foundation for evidence-based policy analysis and reform.
