A Federal Reserve Board of Governors working paper circulating in D.C. is not what it seems. It is an apparent takedown of decades of Dartmouth research on geographic variation in health spending. It turns out that its dubious conclusions are due to a single methodological choice. You don’t want to miss my explanation in my latest AcademyHealth post, do you?
