Abstract: Using data on both buyer-supplier and owner-subsidiary links between Japanese firms, we characterize the interconnection between production and ownership networks. In the cross- section, we find that the majority of the owner-subsidiary links are also buyer-supplier links, highlighting the role of goods or services transactions in vertical relationships. In addition, we find that firms are more likely to use buyers/suppliers that are already adopted by related parties, suggesting an indirect benefit of integration.
