Abstract

This article presents information on the rates of return obtained by purchasers of U.S. hospitals since the mid 1980s. The key hypothesis tested in this study was whether for-profit acquirers are able to purchase hospitals at below-market prices. We test the hypothesis by comparing internal rates of return to an estimate of the weighted cost of capital for all for-profit hospitals in the year the transaction occurred.
