Notes: Means in column 1 are for the dependent variable prior to ASP implementation, Feb–Dec 2004. Columns (2) and (3) contain coefficients from separate time-series regressions using data from Feb 2004–Nov 2005 and April 2004–Sept 2005, respectively. Estimates are the coefficients on an indicator for the pot-reform/ASP payment period. Regressions control for mean patient characteristics (see Table 1) and include relative_week trends. Newey-West standard errors allowing for autocorrelation up to 52-week lags are given in parentheses.
