Are College Graduates More Responsive to Distant Labor Market Opportunities? (2010, background): “Other examples of the implementation of this model in migration settings include Davies et al. (2001); Knapp et al. (2001); and O’Keefe (2004).”
The Social Attachment to Place (2010, background): “For example, using average wages in a state to proxy for expected income, Davies et al. (2001) calculated that the average American in 1996 would only consider another state equally attractive if it had per capita income of at least $170,820 more than his or her current state of residence (more…”
Determinants of Net Interstate Migration, 2000-2004 (2006, background): “…cost-of-living differentials (listed under the first category) are very frequently ignored in empirical migration studies [Clark and Hunter (1992), Davies, Greenwood, and Li (2001), Conway and Houtenville (1998; 2001), Milligan (2000)], although there certainly are exceptions [Cebula (1993),…”

Crossing boundaries and borders: Regional science advances in migration modelling (2003, background): “Though it makes for a more complicated model, personal characteristics can be incorporated in a conditional logit model (Davies et al. 2001).”
