Replication Data for: Conglomerates at the Court: The Political Consequences of Mergers & Acquisitions

Increasingly, corporations expand through the creation or acquisition of new subsidiary companies. Despite the commonality of the practice, little is known regarding how it influences corporations' ---and by extension, their subsidiaries'--- political behavior. This \textit{research note} analyzes how subsidiaries shape corporations' political interests %in issue areas and collaborations as they seek to influence the Supreme Court. To accomplish this, we construct a historical dataset of the acquisitions and mergers of a politically active sample of Fortune 500 corporations (spanning various industries and sizes) that we combine with their history of filing amicus curiae briefs to the Court.
