Her most cited study, "Private Equity Acquisition And Responsiveness To Service-Line Profitability At Short-Term Acute Care Hospitals" (2021, 36 citations), employs rigorous difference-in-differences methodology to reveal how private equity acquisitions reshape service-line provision, prioritizing profitability over comprehensive community care. This foundational work has positioned Dr. Yang as a leading voice in understanding how financial incentives alter the organization and delivery of care in U.S. hospitals. Her research provides essential evidence for policymakers and healthcare leaders navigating the growing influence of private equity in health systems.
