  • General Information
    General Information 8 General Information Duke University In 1839 a group of citizens from Randolph and adjacent counties in North Carolina assembled in a log schoolhouse to organize support for a local academy founded a few months earlier by Brantley York. Prompted, they said, by “no small share of philanthropy and patriotism,” they espoused their belief that “ignorance and error are the banes not only of religious but also civil society which rear up an almost impregnable wall between man and happiness.” Union Institute, which they then founded, was reorganized first in 1851 as Normal College to train teachers, and eight years later as Trinity College, a liberal arts college, which later moved to the growing city of Durham, North Carolina. With the establishment of the James B. Duke Indenture of Trust in 1924, Trinity College became Duke University. Today, Duke is a two-campus institution with a student body of about 11,000, of whom 5,000 are enrolled in the graduate and professional programs. Established in 1969, The Fuqua School of Business joined the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Law, Engineering, Divinity, and the Nicholas School of the Environment in preparing qualified individuals for professional leadership and developing excellence in education for the professions. The Campus. The main campus (West) of Duke University is a beautifully designed complex of buildings in Gothic architecture, bordered on the east by the Sarah P. Duke Gardens and on the west by the 8,000-acre Duke Forest. This campus is dominated by the Duke Chapel, whose 210-foot-high tower houses a 50-bell carillon.

By constructing a novel dataset with firm-specific health care expenses, I show that firms adjust both capital expenditures and R&D expenses negatively in response to changes in health care costs. I estimate that a 1% increase in health care costs is associated with a 0.7% decrease in total investment on average. The effects are stronger for financially constrained firms, those employing high-skilled workers, and those working with fewer insurers. Additional tests confirm that hiring fewer workers and reducing wages do not offset rising health costs enough to counteract this lower investment channel. Overall, my findings suggest that rising health care costs limit firms’ ability to expand either physically or via innovation.
