# Journal of Health Economics (journal-of-health-economics)
## Journal positioning
JHE is the field flagship for health economics, publishing the most consequential work on healthcare markets, insurance, provider behavior, health behaviors, and health policy. It rewards papers that answer a substantive health-economics question with credible identification and an economic mechanism, not just a health-services correlation. The readership is health economists and applied microeconomists, so the paper must combine policy relevance with state-of-the-art causal inference or structural modeling.
This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Elsevier site and the editorial submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names JHE as the target venue, or wants the health-economics field flagship.
- A health-economics paper has credible identification but is narrower than a top-5 general-interest result.
- A health-services or health-policy paper needs re-framing so the contribution reads as economics — markets, incentives, behavior — rather than description.
- The author needs JHE's desk-reject risks and a credible health/applied-micro alternative list.
