Sander}, year = {2019}, url = {https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/1560/}, abstract = {This study uses longitudinal U.S. Census data to examine if minorities, living in Phoenix, face a spatial mismatch to employment. We approach the spatial mismatch hypothesis by looking at the distribution of minorities, the distribution of employment centers, and the commuting behavior of minorities. Overall, we find that Hispanics ? particularly those living in the CBD ? faced a spatial mismatch in 1990, and to a lesser extent in 2000. In more recent years we cannot find evidence that supports the spatial mismatch hypothesis for any minority.} }
