Philipp Rehm

About

Philipp Rehm is a Professor of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University. He holds a Ph.D. from Duke University and has previously been a professor at Ohio State University. He also held the Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellowship at Nuffield College, Oxford University. His research interests are located at the intersection of Political Economy and Political Behavior, focusing on the causes and consequences of income dynamics, such as income loss, income volatility, and risk exposure. At the micro-level, his research explores how income dynamics shape individual preferences for redistribution, social policies, and parties. At the macro-level, he analyzes the impact of labor market and income dynamics on polarization, electoral majorities, and coalitions underpinning social policy in rich democracies. His work contributes to understanding how economic security and income mobility influence political attitudes and party support, especially in the context of advanced democracies. Rehm has authored books and numerous articles on topics including welfare state transformations, risk inequality, and political polarization, making significant contributions to the fields of Political Economy and Political Behavior.

  The subject of institutions and political parties involves two objects of analysis and their relationship. The first is the institutionalization of parties and party systems themselves and the political performance they deliver in democratic polities. The second is democratic institutions and their relation to political parties and their institutionalization.

  Abstract While there is a strong cross-sectional association between social class and political attitudes, recent research—based on longitudinal data—finds that changes in class are, at most, weakly related to changes in such attitudes. One common explanation for this finding is that early life socialization affects both social class and political attitudes and that class has little, if any, direct effect on them. In this manuscript, we explore an alternative explanation that centers on the impo…
