What is Schmitt 2017 about?
The document analyzes whether hospital mergers lead to cost reductions. Using data on hospital mergers between 2000-2010, the author estimates difference-in-differences models comparing cost trends at acquired hospitals to hospitals whose ownership did not change. The analysis finds evidence that acquired hospitals experience cost savings of 4-7% on average in the years following an acquisition.
