Codebook and Data: 2019 General Election Party Expenditure Coding

This data is associated with article: Understanding the modern election campaign: Analysing campaign eras through financial transparency disclosures at the 2019 UK general election.This dataset presents how political parties spent their money at the 2019 UK General Election. The dataset was constructed by manually coding invoices published by the Electoral Commission on their Political Finance Database, available at: https://search.electoralcommission.org.uk/.We developed codes inductively, attempting to capture the different types of activities described within the data set. We identified nine ‘macro’ categories within which there are 41 subcategories, described below. The dataset is presented alongside data points provided by the Electoral Commission, including the political party name, supplier name, amount spent, and the Electoral Commission’s own spending categories. Each of these are detailed in the codebook.

本数据集与文章《理解现代选举运动：通过2019年英国大选的财务透明度披露分析选举时期》相关联。该数据集展现了政治党派在2019年英国大选中的资金支出情况。数据集由手工编码选举委员会在其政治财务数据库中发布的发票构建而成，该数据库可通过以下链接访问：https://search.electoralcommission.org.uk/。我们通过归纳法开发编码，旨在捕捉数据集中描述的不同活动类型。我们识别出九个‘宏观’类别，其中包含41个子类别，具体描述如下。数据集与选举委员会提供的数据点一同呈现，包括政党名称、供应商名称、支出金额以及选举委员会自身的支出类别。这些内容均在编码手册中进行了详细阐述。
