I am doing an in-depth study of variations in the range of services offered across US hospitals, especially differences between not-for- profit (NFP) and for-profit (FP) hospitals in states regulated by certificate-of-need (CON) laws and states without CON. How does regulation affect the pattern of services and technologies observed in the industry? Using a difference-in-difference model we identify treatment effects of CON on the likelihood of services being offered, and the implications for patient access to care and their welfare.
The effects of regulation the range of hospital services.; patient safety in hospitals; market effects of ambulatory surgical centers.
I am an empirical researcher, with experience in data management and programing, as well as econometric methods used in health economics.
