Fig 3. Plots of degree distributions.

The degree distributions P(k) (the frequency of nodes with degree k) against degree k edges on a log-log scale for shareholder networks where the holdings are in (a) Turkish companies, (b) Dutch companies. The red dots are the raw data, the green crosses represent the same data in logarithmic bins, and the blue lines are the best linear fits (P(k) ∼ k^−γ) to ranges of k values where we see approximately linear behaviour. The slope of the blue lines, −γ, is 2.6 and 2.7 for Turkey and the Netherlands respectively. A summary of the general statistics of these shareholder networks can be found in Table 2.
