Economist donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

Reading $436,606 as an intersection

$436,606 is the amount that survives both filters. The occupation filter is Economist (ECONOMIST). The cycle filter is 2010. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 651 lines, and the 286 donors.

Because the grouping is typed, the cell is a text match. Household members and former workers can reuse a title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate. Financial analyst, professor of economics, economic consultant, and economics are other keys.

Use the occupation hub when the question is every cycle for Economist. Use the 2010 election cycle when the question is every string that year. Use this tie when the question is both. ECONOMIST in 2010 is an earlier midterm cell on the same stored string. It is not a recode of the 2014 economist join.

Lifetime Economist money versus 2010

Divide $436,606 by $15,061,265 and the result is 2.9%. The complementary share is 97.1%, or $14,624,659 outside 2010. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.

$15,061,265 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched ECONOMIST in any cycle in this table. ECONOMIST in 2010 is an earlier midterm cell on the same stored string. It is not a recode of the 2014 economist join.

$671 per contribution, $1,527 per donor

Per-gift mean $671 and per-donor mean $1,527 follow from $436,606, 651, and 286. About 2.3 itemized lines per donor is the third ratio. Report them as means, not as typical gifts.

Contributor identities can include people who listed ECONOMIST as occupation without a current job match. The FEC form is self-reported. ECONOMIST in 2010 is an earlier midterm cell on the same stored string. It is not a recode of the 2014 economist join.

Cycle tag versus calendar year

Calendar year 2010 and FEC cycle 2010 are easy to confuse. The stored tag is the cycle. Both years of the window can feed $436,606. This prose does not split them because the packet does not.

Economist remains one grouping among many on the 2010 hub. This join does not list siblings. All FEC ties is the directory of other two-dimension pages. All occupations lists neighboring titles such as financial analyst, professor of economics, economic consultant, and economics.

Limits of the Economist string

The string ECONOMIST is only as wide as the characters stored. Longer titles that contain extra words are other keys. Shorter abbreviations are other keys. A BLS economist census, an NBER affiliation list, or a university payroll would require a different extract.

Think-tank and professional-association PAC filings are committee reports. Individual contributions tagged Economist in 2010 remain $436,606. Mixing the two would blend FEC tables. All occupations is the index of neighboring strings.

A clean footnote for ECONOMIST in 2010

Footnote language that stays inside the packet: filers who stored occupation ECONOMIST itemized $436,606 in the 2010 federal election cycle (651 contributions, 286 donors; 2.9% of $15,061,265 all-cycle). Source: FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Leave academic versus government versus private-sector economist work out of the footnote because it is unpublished. Leave think-tank and professional-association PAC filings out because they are a different table. Leave federal awards out because they are a different dataset.

Repeat the join in one line for researchers: occupation ECONOMIST ∩ cycle 2010 = $436,606 itemized individual contributions, 651 receipts, 286 donors, 2.9% of $15,061,265. Neighbors remain financial analyst, professor of economics, economic consultant, and economics. Unpublished split: academic versus government versus private-sector economist work. Not recoded into a BLS economist census, an NBER affiliation list, or a university payroll. Source remains FEC.gov. ECONOMIST in 2010 is an earlier midterm cell on the same stored string. It is not a recode of the 2014 economist join.
