An aggregated dataset of PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) SBA (Small Business Administration) loans involving 3 million businesses would be a comprehensive collection of financial information, aimed at analyzing the distribution and impact of these loans. This dataset would include key details such as the names of the businesses, loan amounts, loan disbursement dates, and the terms of the loans. Additionally, the dataset would contain information on board members of these businesses, providing insights into the governance structures and potential networks influencing the flow of SBA funds. This aspect of the dataset can be crucial for understanding the distribution patterns of PPP loans, identifying trends in funding allocation among different types of businesses, and examining any correlations between board composition and loan receipt. Such a dataset would be valuable for various analyses, including: Financial Analysis: Assessing the financial health and stability of businesses that received PPP loans, and understanding how these loans have impacted their operations during challenging economic times. Governance Analysis: Evaluating the role of board members in acquiring PPP loans, and whether certain types of governance structures were more successful in securing funds. Economic Impact Assessment: Measuring the broader economic impact of the PPP loans, such as job retention, business survival rates, and sector-wise distribution of funds. Network Analysis: Mapping the connections between different businesses and their board members to identify any potential networks or clusters that may have influenced the flow of funds. Policy Evaluation: Providing data-driven insights to policymakers for assessing the effectiveness of the PPP program and for planning future economic relief measures.
