Bell Journal of Economics, 1982, vol. 13, issue 1, 93-106

Abstract: This article examines the impact of reimbursement on admissions by nursing homes. Low rates of payment for Medicaid patients suggest that nursing homes should prefer non-Medicaid patients. Such preferences are observable in daily admissions data from some of a sample of 18 Southern California facilities. Facilities with observable preferences tend to have strong incentives to prefer non-Medicaid patients. The statistical method used to observe preferences may have applications to studies of discrimination in other settings.
