This approach is motivated our finding that under common assumptions, NiN model predicts a market breakdown with sufficiently high hospital power. In proposed all hospitals increase surplus join network. Our generalized can be estimated as in Gowrisankaran et al. (2015) one additional parameter -- players' discount factor. If players are completely impatient, estimation outcome both models. identify differences results between two models show mergers would approved using may rejected general
