Economist political contributions from Maryland

Economist and Maryland as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation ECONOMIST and donor state MD produce $1,439,895, 5,463 contributions, and 247 donors. The occupation hub is $15,061,265, 47,419 contributions, and 1,790 donors. Maryland’s dollar share is about 9.6%; contribution share about 11.5% (5,463 of 47,419); donor share about 13.8% (247 of 1,790). Two hundred forty-seven Maryland donors are about 13.8% of 1,790 national donors; 5,463 contributions are about 11.5% of 47,419 national rows; dollars are about 9.6% of $15,061,265.

FINANCIAL ANALYST, RESEARCHER, and ECONOMICS PROFESSOR, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Economist total. Do not stack ECONOMIST with FINANCIAL ANALYST or RESEARCHER into a single Maryland professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

247 Maryland donors produced 5,463 contributions, about 22.1 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 26.5 rows per donor nationally (47,419 contributions from 1,790 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Maryland cell is about $264, against about $318 nationwide. Maryland’s about 9.6% dollar share from 247 people is a large slice of a modest occupation (1,790 national donors), not a Beltway employment census.

ECONOMIST as a professional-title string

ECONOMIST is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a PhD, a federal grade, or a think-tank affiliation. The words on the form are the filter. The $15,061,265 national total is ECONOMIST only. 1,790 donors produced 47,419 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 47,419 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Maryland (MD). Forty-seven thousand four hundred nineteen national contributions make this a mid-volume bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state MD.

Maryland on the state side

247 Maryland donors produced 5,463 contributions totaling $1,439,895. Donor state MD is the address on the record, not proof of a Maryland license, and not a limit to Maryland candidates. MD is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Maryland or District workplace, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,439,895.

The Maryland campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MD. This join is only ECONOMIST. The Economist occupation hub without Maryland still holds about 90.4% of the $15,061,265. Maryland’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MD. ECONOMIST is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count federal economists, merge analyst titles, or claim that Economist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. ECONOMIST is not ANALYST even when filers meant a research shop.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ECONOMIST is not an OPM personnel extract. Donor state MD is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Agency names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Economist filter

Subtract the Maryland dollars on this page from the national ECONOMIST occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded ECONOMIST in every other state combined. That remainder ($13,621,370) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 247 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 5,463 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,439,895 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Maryland dollars, or only the ECONOMIST national total, drops a key. Two hundred forty-seven donors producing 5,463 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,439,895 headline.

Economist donations holds the $15,061,265 national occupation total. Maryland campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. Maryland also has Managing Partner and Psychologist occupation-state ties.

Filers who wrote FINANCIAL ANALYST or RESEARCHER may sit in a different occupation bucket. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.
