From jhe-skills
Routes manuscript workflow for Journal of Health Economics submissions, guiding which jhe-* sub-skill to invoke based on current stage (topic, identification, tables, writing, revision).

This is the router. It tells you which jhe- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at the Journal of Health Economics (JHE) — Elsevier's field flagship for health economics. JHE publishes economic analyses that deepen understanding of the value, production, or distribution of health or healthcare: insurance design and demand, provider incentives and payment, healthcare markets and competition, medical technology and pharmaceuticals, health behaviors (smoking, obesity, addiction), health and human capital, health-policy evaluation, and health disparities. What earns space is credible causal identification fused with institutional health-system knowledge — a clean design that a referee who knows Medicaid, DRGs, or Part D would trust.
Operational tells that you are at JHE and not a sibling: submission is via Elsevier Editorial Manager (editorialmanager.com/jhlthec); review is single-anonymized (referees see authors — so anonymization is not a desk-reject trigger, unlike the AEA journals); the journal takes papers of any length and encourages short papers; the data/code policy is "encouraged," not a mandatory pre-publication openICPSR deposit (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Distinguish JHE from AJHE (ASHEcon/Chicago, US-health-policy-leaning), Journal of Public Economics (tax/transfer/public-finance core), Health Economics (Wiley, broader methods/measurement), and AEJ: Economic Policy (AEA policy generalist). JHE is the Elsevier field flagship — the question must be a health-economics question, not health as one application of a public-finance paper.
| Current symptom | Next skill |
|---|---|
| Scope/fit unclear; is this health economics or a public-finance paper in disguise? | jhe-topic-selection |
| Contribution vs. the health-econ frontier is fuzzy or undersold | jhe-literature-positioning |
| Causal design (policy variation, eligibility RD, selection into insurance) is shaky | jhe-identification |
| A demand/insurance/provider model or its mechanism is loose | jhe-theory-model |
| Results may be specification-, sample-, or inference-fragile | jhe-robustness |
| Exhibits are dense; the health-policy result is hard to find | jhe-tables-figures |
| Prose buries the policy stakes; abstract/intro do not land | jhe-writing-style |
| Data deposit, restricted-data access path, code documentation needed | jhe-replication-package |
| Want to pre-empt likely referee objections before submission | jhe-referee-strategy |
| Ready to submit via Editorial Manager; need a preflight | jhe-submission |
| Received an R&R / decision letter; need a response-letter strategy | jhe-rebuttal |

jhe-writing-styleis a late-stage polish; do not rewrite the intro before identification and the headline estimate settle.
JHE spans several health-econ branches, and the binding constraint differs by branch. Read the archetype, then enter the chain at the right link.
| Archetype | Likely first bottleneck | Enter at |
|---|---|---|
| Insurance/coverage expansion (Medicaid/Medicare/exchange) | policy-variation design + spillovers to non-targeted margins | jhe-identification |
| Provider incentives / payment reform (DRG, P4P, ACO) | endogenous provider response + selection of patients | jhe-identification → jhe-theory-model |
| Health behaviors (tobacco, obesity, addiction) | tax/price variation credibility + externalities framing | jhe-identification → jhe-literature-positioning |
| Insurance demand / selection (structural) | what identifies risk preferences/adverse selection | jhe-theory-model → jhe-identification |
| Medical-technology / pharma diffusion | measurement + restricted claims-data access | jhe-identification → jhe-replication-package |
A user says: "My Medicaid-expansion DiD looks fine, but a referee says the parallel-trends story is thin and the welfare interpretation overreaches what a coverage effect can show." Two distinct JHE pushbacks — design credibility (own jhe-identification: move past TWFE, honest-DID bounds, event-study leads) and overclaiming (own jhe-theory-model + jhe-writing-style: a coverage-take-up effect is not a health-production or welfare effect without the mapping). Route to jhe-identification first; only once the coverage estimate is stable (say it settles at 4.1pp take-up, s.e. 1.0, illustrative) do you return to frame the welfare claim honestly and re-present in jhe-tables-figures.

It diagnoses the binding constraint and names the next skill; it does not run analysis, draft prose, or build exhibits — those live in the specialist skills. If the user's bottleneck spans two stages (e.g., a design fix that also changes the welfare claim), route to the earlier upstream skill first and let it hand off, rather than trying to resolve both here.
