van Ham, M. (author), Uesugi, M. (author), Tammaru, T. (author), Manley, D.J. (author), Janssen, H.J. (author)Based on data from the 1980s, Sassen’s influential book ‘The Global City’ interrogated how changes in the occupational structure affect socio-economic residential segregation in global cities. Here, using data for New York City, London and Tokyo, we reframe and answer this question for recent decades. Our analysis shows an increase in the share...journal article 2020

de Vos, D.W. (author), Lindgren, Urban (author), van Ham, M. (author), Meijers, E.J. (author)Borrowed size refers to the idea that small cities near larger metropolitan centres can reap the advantages of large agglomerations, but without the costs of agglomeration. The study explores whether broadband internet helps such smaller cities to enjoy the labour market benefits of a larger city. Using Swedish micro-data from 2007 to 2015,...journal article 2020

Al Sader, N. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)Local governments make use of ‘enterprise language’ to encourage citizens to adopt entrepreneurial behaviour in managing their daily lives and solving problems that emerge in their neighbourhood. In this paper, we examine the use of enterprise language and the promotion of enterprise in Dutch urban policy focusing specifically on how Dutch...journal article 2020

Peris, A.F.T. (author), Faber, Willem Jan (author), Meijers, E.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)Previous studies have highlighted the importance of having long term data for the study of cities, but such sources are relatively scarce. This is especially the case for data about relations between cities, which is a crucial aspect of urban dynamics. Over the last two decades, many efforts have been made to digitalize texts, including books...journal article 2020

Makrodimitris, S. (author), van Ham, R.C.H.J. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)The current rate at which new DNA and protein sequences are being generated is too fast to experimentally discover the functions of those sequences, emphasizing the need for accurate Automatic Function Prediction (AFP) methods. AFP has been an active and growing research field for decades and has made considerable progress in that time....review 2020

de Vos, D.W. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Meijers, E.J. (author)Teleworking may increase the willingness to accept a longer commute. This paper presents new evidence of the effect of teleworking on the length of commutes. We use novel panel data from the Netherlands, for the years 2008-2018, and find stronger effects compared to studies that use older data. Between 2008 and 2018 however, the effect was...working paper 2019

Makrodimitris, S. (author), van Ham, R.C.H.J. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)Motivation: Most automatic functional annotation methods assign Gene Ontology (GO) terms to proteins based on annotations of highly similar proteins. We advocate that proteins that are less similar are still informative. Also, despite their simplicity and structure, GO terms seem to be hard for computers to learn, in particular the Biological...journal article 2019

Vaalavuo, Maria (author), van Ham, M. (author), Kauppinen, T.M. (author)The spatial concentration of immigrants in disadvantaged neighbourhoods may hinder their opportunities for social and economic integration. It is therefore important that immigrants can translate their available economic resources into mobility to less disadvantaged neighbourhoods. This study adds to existing research on the relationship between...journal article 2019

Janssen, H.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Kleinepier, T. (author), Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (author)Existing empirical research on the link between ethnic minority concentration in residential environments and voting for the radical right is inconclusive, mainly due to major differences between studies in the spatial scale at which minority concentration is measured. We examined whether the presence of non-western ethnic minorities in the...journal article 2019

Hedman, L.K. (author), Manley, D.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)Previous research has reported evidence of intergenerational transmissions of neighbourhood status and social and economic outcomes later in life. Research also shows neighbourhood effects on adult incomes of both childhood and adult neighbourhood experiences. However, these estimates of neighbourhood effects may be biased because confounding...journal article 2019

Al Sader, N. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author), van Ham, M.

The concept of entrepreneurial citizenship combines top-down and bottom-up elements. National and/or local governments promote an ideal citizen with entrepreneurship skills and...review 2019

Pastak, Ingmar (author), Kindsiko, Eneli (author), Tammaru, T. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author), van Ham, M.

The aim of this paper is to better understand the explanatory factors behind the timing of entrepreneurial changes that take place during the...journal article 2019

Petrović, A. (author), Manley, D.J. (author), van Ham, M.

We argue that neighbourhood effects research needs to break away from the ‘tyranny’ of neighbourhood and consider alternative ways to measure the wider sociospatial context of people, placing...journal article 2019
