Better or Worse Job Accessibility? Understanding Changes in Spatial Mismatch: Evidence from Medellín, Colombia
Published in Journal of Transport Geography, 2025
We propose a methodology to measure spatial mismatch that accounts for transportation costs, opportunity costs, and changes in spatial units over time. Applying this approach to Medellín, Colombia, we find that spatial mismatch increased from 2012 to 2017 despite investments in transportation infrastructure, with the largest losses in job accessibility occurring for private transport.
