Income Changes Do Not Influence Political Involvement in Panel Data from Six Countries European Journal of Political Research published online (5 November 2021): DOI: 10.1111/1475-6765.12495.

The income gradient in political participation is a widely accepted stylized fact. Based on nine panel datasets from six countries, this research note asks whether income changes trigger short-term effects on political involvement. Irrespective of indicator, specification, and method (hybrid random-effects models, fixed-effects models with lags and leads, and error-correction models) there are few significant short-term effects of income changes. In conjunction with earlier research, this finding suggests that the income gradient in political participation is likely to reflect stable differences between rich and poor voters emerging early in the life-course. |

Income Changes Do Not Influence Political Participation: Evidence from Comparative Panel Data IZA Discussion Paper No. 14198, Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA), March 2021. Also: http://ftp.iza.org/dp14198.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Keyword(s): British Household Panel Survey (BHPS); Cross-national Analysis; General Social Survey (GSS); German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP); Household Income; Income; Life Cycle Research; Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID); Parental Influences; Political Attitudes/Behaviors/Efficacy; Swiss Household Panel Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The income gradient in political participation is a widely accepted stylized fact. This article asks how income effects on political involvement unfold over time. Using nine panel datasets from six countries, it analyzes whether income changes have short-term effects on political involvement, whether effects vary across the life-cycle, and whether parental income has an independent influence. Irrespective of indicator, specification, and method (hybrid models, inclusion of lags and leads, error-correction models), we find neither significant short-term effects of income changes nor life-cycle variation in these effects. However, parental income does seem to affect political socialization. Descriptive evidence and latent-growth-curve modeling based on household panels show that participatory inequality by parental income is already large before voting age. Poorer voters do not catch up with their richer peers in their twenties. This implies an urgent need for research on (political) inequality in youth and childhood. |
