Do For-Profit and Not-for-Profit Nursing Homes Behave Differently?
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine behavioral differences between for-profit (FP) and not-for-profit (NFP) nursing homes. Previous studies have failed to establish consistent behavioral differences. This study uses a simultaneous equation model to control for potential endogeneity among system variables, with model parameters estimated using 3SLS. The study provides evidence that NFPs provide significantly higher quality of care to Medicaid beneficiaries and to self-pay residents than do FPs, as evidenced by better staffing and better outcomes among nursing homes with residents at higher risk for adverse outcomes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
