Sociology postdoctoral student at @iasliu, Linköping University, Sweden. I study neighborhood effects and spatial inequalities using register data.
In this article, @javiersanmillan.bsky.social @clementinecttn.bsky.social and Maarten van Ham compare the spatiotemporal patterns of income vs. wealth segregation, affluence and poverty in the Netherlands. Using geo-coded register microdata, they show that...

New article w/ @jenjirayahirun.bsky.social: Exogamous 2nd gen immigrants in Sweden live further from parents than do endogamous immigrants, but closer than natives. But in terms of residential choices, exogamous immigrants are least likely to move near parents.

Parental education is still key, but proximity reduces the gap a little: kids from less educated families gain most from living close to a university.
👉 Bottom line: geography shapes aspirations and can reinforce inequality.
Excited to share this first article from my PhD 🎉
Why? Distance effects are often explained by exposure to the academic environment and by the costs of distance. We find that peer exposure explains part of the effect—but not all. Even after accounting for it, distance still matters, with costs reducing aspirations as early as age 15.

Line chart showing the probability of applying to an academic track by distance to the closest higher education institution (HEI) in kilometers. The baseline model (red line with squares) shows a sharp decline in probability from about 0.72 near universities to around 0.61 at 100 km, with the steepest drop between 5 and 20 km. When accounting for academic exposure (blue line with circles), the probability is consistently lower and flatter, around 0.65, with only a slight downward trend across distance. Shaded areas show confidence intervals.
The effect is big: students furthest from a university are up to 12 percentage points less likely to apply for the academic track.
The effect is strongest between 5–20 km: even small differences in distance here can make a big impact. Beyond ~20 km, the effect levels off.
Thrilled to share my first publication! 🎉
Together with Maria Brandén and Erik Rosenqvist, we show that distance to higher education shapes academic aspirations in Sweden—well before their university education begins. (1/4)

There are serious concerns about the data validity of the income measurement of the EU-SILC in Hungary after 2017. The numbers reek of manipulation to make the Orban government appear better at fighting poverty than it actually is. This is serious, as it undermines trust in the whole data set.
