TLDR
Results suggest that CEO compensation was largely unrelated to hospital financial performance, but inflation-adjusted salaries appeared to increase over time independent of hospital performance, and hospital size was positively correlated with CEO compensation.Abstract:
Growing interest in pay-for-performance and the level of chief executive officers' (CEOs') pay raises questions about the link between performance and compensation in the health sector. This study compares the compensation of nonprofit hospital CEOs in Ontario, Canada to the three longest reported and most used measures of hospital financial performance. Our sample consisted of 132 CEOs from 92 hospitals between 1999 and 2006. Unbalanced panel data were analyzed using fixed effects regression. Results suggest that CEO compensation was largely unrelated to hospital financial performance. Inflation-adjusted salaries appeared to increase over time independent of hospital performance, and hospital size was positively correlated with CEO compensation. The apparent upward trend in salary despite some declines in financial performance challenges the fundamental assumption underlying this article, that is, financial performance is likely linked to CEO compensation in Ontario. Further research is needed to understand long-term performance related to compensation incentives.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to solve the problem of the problem: the one-dimensional graph. But it was shown to be ineffective, not useful, in practice.

A study of physician collaborations through social network and exponential random graph
TL;DR: It is revealed that the density of PCN is positively correlated with hospitalisation cost and readmission rate, while alternative-k-star and alternative- k-two-path parameters of ERG model have impact on readmissions rate.

Exploring the impact of different multi-level measures of physician communities in patient-centric care networks on healthcare outcomes: A multi-level regression approach.
TL;DR: All Level-1 findings showed significance variance across physician collaboration networks having different community structure and density, which could be utilised as a reflective measure by healthcare decision makers and healthcare managers could consider them in developing effective healthcare environments.

Not-for-Profit Hospital CEO Performance and Pay: Some Evidence from Connecticut:
TL;DR: The multiple regression results reveal that not-for-profit hospital CEOs, at least in Connecticut, are driven at the margin to increase the occupancy rate of privately insured patients at the expense of uncompensated care and public-pay patients.

A Heteroskedasticity-Consistent Covariance Matrix Estimator and a Direct Test for Heteroskedasticity
TL;DR: In this article, a parameter covariance matrix estimator which is consistent even when the disturbances of a linear regression model are heteroskedastic is presented, which does not depend on a formal model of the structure of the heteroSkewedness.

Specification Tests in Econometrics
TL;DR: In this article, the null hypothesis of no misspecification was used to show that an asymptotically efficient estimator must have zero covariance with its difference from a consistent but asymptonically inefficient estimator, and specification tests for a number of model specifications in econometrics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a two-way error component regression model for estimating the likelihood of a particular item in a set of data points in a single-dimensional graph.

Higher market valuation of companies with a small board of directors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence consistent with theories that small boards of directors are more effective, using Tobin's Q as an approximation of market valuation, and find an inverse association between board size and firm value in a sample of 452 large U.S. industrial corporations.

Corporate governance, chief executive officer compensation, and firm performance
TL;DR: This article found that measures of board and ownership structure explain a significant amount of cross-sectional variation in CEO compensation, after controlling for standard economic determinants of pay, and that CEOs earn greater compensation when governance structures are less effective.
