We seek to analyze the extent and sources of network externalities for the automated
clearinghouse (ACH) electronic payments system using a quarterly panel data set on
individual bank adoption and usage of ACH. We provide three methods to identify network ...

I develop a dynamic model of mergers, where mergers, investment, entry, and exit are
endogenous variables rationally chosen by firms to maximize expected future profits. This
model differs from previous analyses in that it incorporates dynamics and endogenizes the ...

Study Design. Outcome variables are the risk-adjusted hospital mortality rates for pneumonia

This paper develops new econometric methods to infer hospital quality in a model with
discrete dependent variables and non-random selection. Mortality rates in patient discharge
records are widely used to infer hospital quality. However, hospital admission is not ...

We seek to determine the causes and magnitudes of network externalities for the automated

Mortality rates are a widely used measure of hospital quality. A central problem with this
measure is selection bias: simply put, severely ill patients may choose high quality hospitals.
We control for severity of illness with an instrumental variables (IV) framework using ...

We present a dynamic model of the hospital industry in which nonprofit and for-profit
hospitals coexist and compete and are differentiated by their objective functions, investment

To what extent will an industry in which mergers are feasible tend toward monopoly? We
analyze this question using a dynamic dominant-firm model with rational agents,
endogenous mergers, and constant returns to scale production. We find that long-run ...

In this paper, we estimate the returns associated with the provision of coronary artery bypass
