Plausibly Exogenous [1034] - Medical Malpractice (03/11/2023)
LHS Variable
Timings of settlements
RHS Variable
Delayed justice
Source of Exogenous Variation
Plausibly exogenous upsurge in court caseload due to the foreclosure crisis in 2007-10 (the upsurge in court caseload was likely unanticipated by litigants, and the difference in state foreclosure laws developed in 19th century for idiosyncratic reasons)
