Economist political contributions from South Carolina

Economist receipts with South Carolina addresses

Occupation ECONOMIST and donor state SC produce $423,213, 91 contributions, and 6 donors. The occupation hub is $15,061,265, 47,419 contributions, and 1,790 donors. South Carolina’s dollar share is about 2.8%; contribution share about 0.2% (91 of 47,419); donor share about 0.3% (6 of 1,790). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Economist hub and not a restatement of all South Carolina occupations.

PROFESSOR, ANALYST, and RESEARCHER, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack ECONOMIST with those strings into a single South Carolina professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

6 South Carolina donors produced 91 contributions, about 15.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 26.5 rows per donor nationally (47,419 contributions from 1,790 donors). Mean gift size in South Carolina is the distinctive feature of this cell: 0.2% of national ECONOMIST contributions against a 2.8% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this South Carolina cell is about $4,651, against about $318 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.

ECONOMIST versus PROFESSOR and ANALYST

ECONOMIST is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $15,061,265 national total is ECONOMIST only. 1,790 donors produced 47,419 contributions in that occupation bucket. ECONOMIST is a discipline label as typed, not an NBER or university payroll extract. Nearby labels PROFESSOR, ANALYST, and RESEARCHER remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

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 South Carolina (SC). 47,419 national contributions make ECONOMIST a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the South Carolina overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

South Carolina donor state on economist-coded lines

6 South Carolina donors produced 91 contributions totaling $423,213. Donor state SC is the address on the record, not proof of a South Carolina license, and not a limit to South Carolina candidates. SC is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $423,213. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from SC-coded donors.

The South Carolina campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to SC. This join is only ECONOMIST. The Economist occupation hub without South Carolina still holds about 97.2% of the $15,061,265 (remainder $14,638,052). South Carolina’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to SC. ECONOMIST is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Faculty and NBER rolls are not in the join

A 2.8% dollar share in South Carolina does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 6 unique donors as an economics-faculty directory. ECONOMIST is not interchangeable with PROFESSOR, ANALYST, and RESEARCHER.

Quote $423,213, 91 contributions, and 6 donors for Economist in South Carolina, against $15,061,265 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Economist and South Carolina—whenever the dollars are quoted.

South Carolina Economist dollars next to gift and donor counts

A complete claim names Economist and South Carolina (SC), then $423,213, 91 contributions, 6 donors, and 2.8% of $15,061,265, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside South Carolina: $14,638,052. Mean gift $4,651 is $423,213 divided by 91 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the South Carolina 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 ($14,638,052) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 6 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Economics occupation pages and South Carolina finance

Economist donations holds the $15,061,265 national occupation total. South Carolina 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. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Economics labeling strings that differ by even one word live on other hubs.

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string ECONOMIST and state is SC. 6 donors are not an economics-faculty directory. PROFESSOR, ANALYST, and RESEARCHER, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Economist. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

Is this a university payroll extract for South Carolina?

Not as a published split. Donor state is South Carolina. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $423,213 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open South Carolina campaign finance for every occupation coded to SC; open Economist donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
