Abstract
This thesis analyses the degree to which Polish migrants in the Netherlands live in ethnically segregated neighbourhoods and the consequences for the incomes of Polish migrants who live in these neighbourhoods by applying the method of individualised neighbourhoods. Geocoded register data from Statistics Netherlands of 2012 allows for computation of individualised neighbourhoods on different scales, based on an individual's 50 to 51,200 nearest neighbours. The results indicate that strong concentrations of Polish migrants can be found in the western, and to a lesser degree in the southern and southeastern part of the country. Fixed effects regression analyses applied on a total of 62,197 Polish migrants show that there is a negative relationship between small scale ethnic segregation and the incomes of Polish migrants which can't be captured when using administratively defined neighbourhoods. The analyses provide support for the notion that segregation patterns and neighbourhood effects are of a multi-scalar nature.
