Representative-issue specific measures of contributions and lobbying expenditures

For a detailed explanation of how these data were created, see Section 3 and the supplementary material of Revisiting the link between PAC contributions and lobbying expenditures, European Journal of Political Economy, 2015, 37, 86–101.

The video recording is the presentation I gave for Pamela Meyerhofer's #econ_prosem virtual professional seminar series for economics graduate students and early career researchers.
