We will analyze heterogeneity by gender. This is based on the findings of Ajzenman et al. (Journal of Labor Economics, forthcoming), in which the authors show in the same context (teachers allocation in Peru) that the effect of a similar intervention in the rural areas of Peru was successful only among male teachers (the interpretation being that female candidates are less flexible to travel longer distances). In this experiment a similar constraint could operate in Peru's countryside (although less so in Lima and Callao, which are urban areas with better infrastructure and not so longer distances).
