Less information about a location has long been believed to be a barrier to new migration to that location. Diverse empirical results support this belief. Here we show that if agents are risk-neutral, less information about a location not only is not a barrier to migration to that location, it is actually an attractor. Only if agents are Bayesian and risk-averse is less information a barrier. Citing Literature Volume45, Issue1February 2005Pages 1-19 RelatedInformation
