Abstract: | Applying conventional horizontal merger enforcement rules to nonprofit hospitals is controversial. Critics contend that the different objective function of not-for-profits entities should mitigate competitive concerns about mergers involving nonprofit hospitals. The authors analyze a merger that reduced the number of competitors (both nonprofit) in the alleged relevant market from three to two. |
