The paper lacks an abstract, but argues that an important systematic influence on regional growth and decline is the climate offered at various locations.

The paper lacks an abstract, but argues that spatially-varying rents can act as a proxy for the bundle of amenities available. Rising national incomes result in movement toward normal amenity locations and away from inferior locations.

The paper lacks an abstract, but corrects an earlier paper and introduces a more nuanced approach to the role of climate in human location and relocation.

I am unable to copy/paste a rather lengthy abstract, but the paper provides a detailed theoretical model of human migration which is then tested using a discrete choice probit model.

While unable to copy/paste the abstract, the paper examines the relative importance of job search and housing demand along with exploring the extent of equilibrium and disequilibrium in migration and job change.

While unable to copy/paste the abstract, the paper discusses the importance of regionally-varying amenities to migration and regional development.

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 unable to copy/paste the abstract, the paper argues that regional differentials in wages and rents are overwhelmingly of an equilibrium nature, with disequilibrium forces having little systematic influence
