Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on hospital mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Design/methodology/approach The authors conduct a systematic review of the literature on hospital M&As to summarize their effects upon cost of health care delivery (access), efficiency, market power, cost and price. Implications for health care industry policy are provided. Findings A significant majority of results conclude lower costs, increased efficiency, but higher prices (due to a market concentration effect) following hospital merger or acquisition. These results are consistent with industrial organization theory and suggest that regulatory policy (e.g. price cap regulation) will raise allocative efficiency, consumer surplus and overall market surplus within markets for hospital services. Originality/value This is the first study to review the price, cost and efficiency effects of M&As with respect to industrial organization theory in the context of hospitals. This study also provides regulatory policy implications.

As an important form of agricultural industrialization in China, facility agriculture industry has been greatly developed in recent years, but due to fierce market competition, facility agriculture industry is suffering low effectiveness. Taking Yanqing County, Beijing as an example, supported by industrial organization theory, the paper attempts to make a thorough analysis of Yanqing facility agriculture industry by using SCP paradigm, the result shows that industry operation is troubled by two dilemmas: Scale dilemma and prisoner’s dilemma, and the solution to free the industry from the difficulties is government policies. Based on the conclusion of the analysis, the paper adjusted the traditional SCP paradigm, highlighted the importance of government policies, and made some suggestions for the formulating facility agriculture industrial policies.
