Note: Robust standard errors clustering error (by ZIP codes in all models except hospital fixed effect models where clustering unit is hospital) are in parentheses. Each coefficient and associated standard errors is derived from a separate regression. All regressions include patient characteristics listed in Table 2 and month of SNF admission dummies.
