Use when the prose of a Journal of Health Economics (JHE) manuscript buries the question or the policy stakes — abstract, introduction, and the institutional setup. Shapes the writing so a health economist sees the contribution fast; it does not establish results or build exhibits.

# Writing Style (jhe-writing-style)

## When to trigger

- The abstract states what you did but not what is new for health economics or why a policymaker should care
- The introduction takes a page to reach the question
- The institutional setup is missing, so the reader cannot judge whether the variation is credible
- The paper reads as generic applied micro and could be about any market, not health

## The JHE voice

JHE prose is **policy-relevant causal writing with institutional grounding**. The reader is a health economist who wants three things fast: the health-system question, the credible estimate, and the policy or welfare lesson. The house voice is precise and institutionally literate — it names the program, the payment rule, the market — not breezy and not a methods showcase. Because review is single-anonymized, you write as an identified author to a specialist audience; the goal is to make the contribution and its institutional credibility obvious, not to obscure scope.
