Linking file between publicly-traded firms, annual PAC contributions, and lobbying

​

This text file contains firm/year summaries between firms (identified by ticker symbol and CUSIP) and their firm-affiliated PAC. We hand-match publicly-traded firm PACIDs with candidate IDs (CIDs). We then sum the total dollar value of contributions from the firm-affiliated PAC to candidates for federal office. We also link lobbying expenditure to this dataset. The replication code for this file is available upon request. Please cite CAPE if you use this data.
