📑Job Market Paper

“Practice-style spillovers in hospital care: evidence from lower extremity joint replacement surgery” Medicare policy are designed to target the Medicare patients only. Do it also affect the other patients with other insurance plans? The answer is yes. In this paper I show a bundled payment model will induce the healthcare providers to treat non-Medicare patients the same type they treat Medicare patients. Surprisingly, the scale of the spillover effects are larger than the direct effects. I also investigate the mechanism by showing that healthcare providers more exposing to the model will be more affected. Using: R, STATA, Python
