Module 3, Part 4: Hospital Mergers
We made it! This is our last week of new content. We’ll finish this semester with a nice discussion of mergers and prices, interpreting this literature in the context of the negotiation model we’ve covered previously.
Objectives for this week
- Summarize the existing data on hospital mergers and their effects on hospital prices and quality
- Differentiate between in- and out-of-market mergers
