June 2002 | Ownership Form and Trapped Capital in the Hospital Industry
with Daniel Kessler, Mark McClellan: w8989
Over the past 20 years, demand for acute care hospital services has declined more rapidly than has hospital capacity.

We test whether rates of exit from the hospital industry differ significantly across the different forms of ownership, and especially whether secular nonprofit hospitals reduce capacity more slowly than do other types of hospitals. We estimate the effect of population changes (a proxy for changes in demand) at the zip-code level between 1985 and 1994 on changes in the capacity of for-profit, secular nonprofit, religious nonprofit, and public hospitals over the same period, holding constant metropolitan statistical area (MSA) fixed effect...
