초록

The recent financial crises affected the US economy. However, how this financial crisis affected the asset investment trend in hospitals has not draw much attention from researchers. This study describes and analyzes the fixed asset investment structure across hospital ownership two years before and after a financial crisis using Texas hospitals data from 2006 to 2010. The finding shows that Hospitals increased fixed asset investment after financial depression in 2008. Also, we found that hospitals’ asset investment differs significantly by hospital ownership. Not-for-profit and government hospitals increased fixed assets after the financial crisis, while for-profit hospitals did not change their asset investment plan responding to financial crisis.
