Abstract: There is a large body of literature on the efficiency and productivity of hospitals. Most studies focus on the effects of environmental pressures on hospital efficiency, such as payment systems (Dismuke & Sena, 1999;Sommersguter-Reichmann, 2000), competition (Rosko, 1999, 2004),Sari, 2003), and property rights (Gruca & Nath, 2001). Other studies pinpoint their attention to economic phenomena, such as economies of scale (Lindrooth, Lo Sasso, & Bazzoli, 2003;Dranove & Lindrooth, 2003), economies of scope (Prior & Sola, 2000;Grosskopf, Margaritis, & Valdmanis, 2001;Li & Rosenman, 2001), chain membership (Menke, 1997), economic behavior (Blank & Merkies, 2004), and expense preference (Rodriguez-Alvarez & Lovell, 2004).
