Grant Type

Early Career Research Award

Description

A large literature finds that high nursing turnover is associated with poor quality of care in nursing homes. This existing evidence is, however, problematic since none of them address the possible endogeneity of job turnover. This research will estimate the causal effect of nurse turnover on the quality of nursing home care by using an instrumental variable estimation that uses employment rate as an instrument for nursing turnover.
