Notes. The unit of analysis is the facility quarter. The primary coefficient of interest is the interaction of Herfindahl–Hirshman Index (HHI) at baseline with an indicator for the Nursing Home Quality Initiative in April or November of 2002 (depending on state). SEs are adjusted for correlation within facilities. To interpret the magnitude, the average HHI at baseline was 0.22.
