Philipp Rehm
- Comparative Politics
- Political Economy
- Parties and Political Behavior
Professor Rehm's research interests are located at the intersection of Political Economy and Political Behavior. At the micro-level, his research explores how income dynamics (income volatility or risk, income mobility) shape individual preferences for redistribution, social policies and parties. At the macro-level, he is interested in the impact of labor market and income dynamics on polarization, electoral majorities and coalitions underpinning social policy in rich democracies.
