Economist donations in the 2014 FEC cycle

Economist × 2014

ECONOMIST plus cycle 2014 equals $486,831. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2014. Financial analyst, professor of economics, economic consultant, and economics are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a BLS economist census, an NBER affiliation list, or a university payroll. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet.

Parent hubs: Economist donations at /occupations/economist/ and the 2014 election cycle at /election-cycles/2014/. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $486,831 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Economist in 2014 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $486,831. Academic versus government versus private-sector economist work is unpublished for Economist in 2014. The occupation page and the 2014 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. ECONOMIST in 2014 is a midterm cell. Academic titles that include economist as a longer phrase sit elsewhere if the stored string differs.

ECONOMIST, not a recode

$15.1 million ($15,061,265) belongs to the exact string ECONOMIST across harvested cycles. It is not a BLS economist census, an NBER affiliation list, or a university payroll. People who wrote nearby wording — financial analyst, professor of economics, economic consultant, and economics — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2014 slice is 3.2% of that title bucket. Share of ECONOMIST is not share of all 2014 receipts.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $486,831. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $15,061,265. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Economist donations and the live 2014 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $486,831.

707 economist receipts in a midterm

268 donors and 707 receipts — about 2.6 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $689; mean per donor about $1,817. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. 268 donors makes this a mid-size occupation-cycle cell. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 707 is a line count, not 268 one-time gifts; about 2.6 lines per donor, which is consistent with repeat gifts inside the same two-year window. Academic versus government versus private-sector economist work is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by ECONOMIST. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $486,831.

2014 as the cycle dimension

The 2014 election cycle hub includes every stored occupation for that window. Economist is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2014 election cycle to drop the occupation filter and Economist donations to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $486,831 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. This join publishes the cycle total, the 707 contributions, the 268 unique donors, and the 3.2% share of $15,061,265. ECONOMIST in 2014 is a midterm cell. Academic titles that include economist as a longer phrase sit elsewhere if the stored string differs.

Generic economist versus neighboring keys and PACs

Cite $486,831 as Economist in 2014. Cite $15,061,265 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add think-tank and professional-association PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $486,831 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 3.2%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode ECONOMIST into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a midterm-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.

How to cite economist money in 2014

A clean footnote names occupation ECONOMIST, election cycle 2014, $486,831 in itemized individual contributions, 707 receipts, and 268 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $689 per line and $1,817 per donor in the cell. If the live Economist donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 707 as unique workers in the trade.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Economist donations rolls every cycle into one ECONOMIST running total. The 2014 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2014 total. Only the Economist × 2014 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 707 receipts and $486,831. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.
