      abstract = {Most of the empirical literature on migration in the  context of
developing countries focuses on migration from  rural to urban areas.
This paper aims to extend the  analysis by incorporating rural-rural
migration in Peru for  the year of 1997. Based on a theoretical result,
three  empirical factors are explored in the paper using data from  the
Peruvian Living Standard Measurement Survey. First,  wage differentials
from different jobs shape the  probabilities of rural-urban and
rural-rural migration in  distinct ways. Second, as compared with
individuals that  migrate to rural areas, urban migrants accumulate
private  wealth – in the form of durable goods - and acquire  more
public services. Finally, migrants are equally likely  to move to a rural
or an urban district as long as these  are located in richer provinces.},
