Very cool! I've been working with U.S. lobbying data recently, and it's interesting to compare with what's going on in the Europe.
If anyone is interested, here's my project combining data on proposed legislation, U.S. lobbying by publicly traded companies, and congressional stock trading: https://www.quiverquant.com/sources/behind-the-curtain/ https://www.quiverquant.com/sources/behind-the-curtain/
- akudha 3y agoThis is slick! On the home page, there is a transaction that was added yesterday, but the transaction itself was on Nov 7th. Is there a 6 month delay for congressmen to disclose? It would be nice to see these transactions in near real time (or better, ban congress from buying/selling individual stocks)
- ckardat123 3y agoThat's actually due to a STOCK Act violation (surprisingly common) Transactions are supposed to be disclosed within 45 days, but they are sometimes disclosed late. The fines for late disclosures are usually a couple hundred dollars at most.
