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

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

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. (author)In the Netherlands, active citizenship in the context of urban regeneration of deprived neighbourhoods seems to have evolved into ‘entrepreneurial citizenship’. 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. (author)In urban geography research there is a small supply of articles which reflect upon the aims and motives of entrepreneurs when they enter neighbourhoods that are undergoing a process of gentrification. 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

Modai-Snir, T. (author), van Ham, M. (author)The socio-economic mosaic of urban neighbourhoods changes under the influence of three distinctive distributional processes: reordering of the socio-economic position of urban neighbourhoods; changing levels of inequality between neighbourhoods; and an overall growth or decline in income levels which affects all neighbourhoods of an urban area....working paper 2018

Li, X. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author)Despite the massive forced relocation of residents during urban restructuring in China, there is no systematic overview regarding how residents experience the process and its outcomes. Most studies concerning urban restructuring in China directly equate forced relocation with displacement, which has a negative connotation. This predominantly...journal article 2018

Kleinepier, T. (author), van Ham, M. (author)Research on neighborhood effects has increasingly focused on how long children have lived in a deprived neighborhood during childhood (duration), but has typically ignored when in childhood the exposure occurred (timing) and whether circumstances were improving or deteriorating (sequencing). Using Dutch register data, we applied sequence...working paper 2018

Manley, D.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Hedman, L.K. (author)Longer term exposure to high poverty neighbourhoods can affect individual socio-economic outcomes later in life. Previous research has shown strong path dependence in individual neighbourhood histories. A growing literature shows that the neighbourhood histories of people is linked to the neighbourhoods of their childhood and parental...working paper 2018

Petrović, A. (author), Manley, D.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)Theory behind neighbourhood effects suggests that different geographies and scales affect individual outcomes. We argue that neighbourhood effects research needs to break away from the tyranny of neighbourhood and consider alternative ways to measure the wider socio-spatial context of people, placing individuals at the centre of the approach. We...working paper 2018

van Ham, M. (author), Tammaru, T. (author), Janssen, H.J. (author)This chapter develops a multi-level conceptual model of segregation, by using three conceptual levels – individuals and households, generations, and urban regions. Different socio-economic groups sort into different types of neighbourhoods and other domains, leading to patterns of segregation at the urban regional level. At the same time...book chapter 2018

Kleinepier, T. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (author)This paper examines ethnic differences in childhood neighborhood disadvantage among children living in the Netherlands. In contrast to more conventional approaches for assessing children’s exposure to neighborhood poverty (e.g., point-in-time and cumulative measures of exposure), we apply sequence analysis to simultaneously capture the timing...journal article 2018

Petrović, A. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Manley, D.J. (author)Contextual poverty is a multiscale phenomenon which affects socioeconomic outcomes of people as well asindividual decisions to move in or out of the neighbourhood. Large-scale poverty reflects regional economicstructures. Meso-scale concentrations of poverty within cities are related to city-specific social, economic andhousing characteristics....conference paper 2018

Petrović, A. (author), van Ham, M. (author), Janssen, H.J. (author), Manley, D.J. (author), Tammaru, T. (author)The project investigated ethnic segregation in seven European capitals, namely Amsterdam, Berlin, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Paris, and Rome. These cities present a mix of immigration and welfare contexts in Europe. The study looked at the levels of ethnic segregation in each city and how these levels vary between them, how segregation manifests...book chapter 2018

Kleinhans, R.J. (author), Veldboer, Lex (author), van Ham, M. (author), Jansen, S.J.T. (author)Ageing of the population in European cities creates fundamental challenges with regard to employment, pensions, health care and other age-related services. Many older people want to live independent lives as long as possible. This aspiration is currently strongly supported by many local governments. A precondition for 'ageing in place' is that...journal article 2018

de Vos, D.W. (author), Meijers, E.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)It is generally found that workers are more inclined to accept a job that is located farther away from home if they have the ability to work from home one day a week or more (telecommuting). Such findings inform us about the effectiveness of telecommuting policies that try to alleviate congestion and transport-related emissions, but they also...journal article 2018

van Ham, M. (author), Boschman, S.E. (author), Vogel, M.S.

However, selection looms large in this line of research, and it has been argued that estimates of neighborhood effects are biased because people nonrandomly select...journal article 2018

Peris, A.F.T. (author), Meijers, E.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)The study of relations between cities has long been a major focus in urban research. For decades, this field has grown integrating contributions from many disciplines. But today, the field appears rather fragmented. This study analyses the body of literature that has developed over the last 23 years to identify schools of thought on...journal article 2018
