Abstract
The growth of investor-owned hospital-man-agement companies represents the most dramatic change in the hospital industry in recent years. Whereas supporters of investor-owned chains suggest that their growth is attributable to operating efficiencies, critics suggest that it has resulted from pricing and marketing strategies. Using data supplied by the California Health Facilities Commission, we compared the economic performance of investor-owned and not-for-profit hospitals in California.Keywords
