There was no abstract for this paper, but it explores the role of climate amenities in net migration behavior over the life-cycle, by race. Holding constant climate is seen to greatly improve the performance of traditional economic variables.

While there was no abstract for this paper, it provides a theoretical model and empirical results that support an important role for climate in the human location/relocation decision.

This paper investigates to what extent the different subsectors of the knowledge economy are subject to sector-specific spatial patterns of employment dynamics, and whether these patterns are conditional upon the general economic climate in a particular region. To this end, we analyze and...
