CAH Variables
- CAH: CAH binary indicator
- CAHit=1, if hospital i is in CAH status in year t
- CAHit=0, if hospital i is in PPS status in year t
- CAHmv: moving average CAH variable
- To examine the relatively long-term effects of CAH conversion
- CAHmvit=(CAHit+CAHi(t-1)+CAHi(t-2) )/3
- E.g. CAHmv=0.33 if the hospital is in the first year of conversion
