Acquiring information about destinations can be costly for migrants. We model information frictions in the rational inattention framework and obtain a closed-form expression for a migration gravity equation that we bring to the data. The model predicts that ows from countries with a higher cost...

In standard models of rational learning from experience, prior uncertainties and disagreements recede smoothly as common evidence accumulates. However, this presumes that the underlying risks are relatively stable. Otherwise, rational learners need to sift random noise for signs that the trend...

Empirical evidence suggests that individuals selectively avoid information, depending on a relevant past choice or lack thereof. We address these findings by studying an agent whose choice behavior can be modeled as if she trades off two conflicting effects of information. The first is a...
