All the models are also control for the variables included in Table 4. DID coefficients (i.e. Reform × Treat/Reform1 × Treat) tested against one-sided alternatives
‘*’, ‘**’ and ‘***’ represents significance level at the 10%, 5% and 1% level respectively
aReform = 1 if after Reform includes year 2012–2013; Reform = 0 if before Reform includes year 2010–2011. Treat = 1 if municipality implemented emergency bed by December 31, 2012
bReform1 = 1 if after Reform includes year 2013; Reform13 = 0 if before Reform includes year 2010–2011
