What Mix Matters? Exploring the Relationships between Individuals' Incomes and Different Measures of their Neighbourhood Context (2007, background): “Finally in the area of labour market outcomes, Weinberg et al. (2004) discovered that several alternative measures of neighbours’ social status were related to individuals’ annual hours of work.”

Spatial Foundations of Inequality: A Conceptual Model and Empirical Overview (2017, methodology): “Several studies using U.S. data (Weinberg, Reagan, and Yankow 2004; Dawkins, Shen, and Sanchez 2005; Cutler, Glaeser, and Vigdor 2008; Bayer, Ross, and Topa 2008; Sharkey 2012), several using Swedish data (Galster et al. 2008; Galster, Andersson, and Musterd 2010, 2015, 2016; Musterd, Galster, and…”
Identification of Social Interactions (2011, methodology): “…problem is relatively simple and involves the choice of scale for a given measure of group; in the case of physical proximity, one finds the use of Zip codes in Corcoran, Gordon, Laren, and Solon (1992) and census tracts and blocks in Weinberg, Reagan, and Yankow (2004) to determine neighborhoods.”

Quantifying the Effect of Neighbourhood on Individuals: Challenges, Alternative Approaches, and Promising Directions (2008, background): “This literature generally suggests that mismatch can be an important aspect of opportunity differentials in at least some American metropolitan areas, though it seems of less importance than the social conditions of neighbourhoods (O'Regan / Quigley, 1996; Weinberg et al. 2004).”
Neighborhood Quality and Labor Market Outcomes: Evidence from Quasi-Random Neighborhood Assignment of Immigrants (2013, background): “Existing evidence shows that policy makers in countries in which the authorities disperse newly recognized refugees across regions can increase the speed of employment and wage-assimilation of immigrants through refugee settlement in regions with low unemployment (Åslund and Rooth, 2007).”
