jhe-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a question is a Journal of Health Economics (JHE) paper at all — is it a genuine health-economics contribution, not a public-finance or labor paper with health as a thin application. Frames the question and audience; it does not run the analysis or invent citations.

When to use

• deciding if a draft is a health-economics paper
• checking if a question clears JHE's value, production, or distribution of health bar
• distinguishing JHE from AJHE, JPubE, Health Economics, or AEJ: Economic Policy
• identifying if the health-economics mechanism is the center of gravity
• sharpening the question to name the health-system mechanism
• triaging venue when it is genuinely ambiguous

When not to use

• running the analysis
• inventing citations
