Contributions present original economic research on health care in low- and middle-income countries, including work on health insurance, provider and individual health-related behavior, access to care, and policies relevant to the functioning of health care systems. It addresses both immediate policy concerns and structural challenges shaping health system development.
The emphasis is on novel, rigorous quantitative or analytical research with clear policy relevance. Papers that engage with broader questions in health economics of interest to the journal's general readership concerned with economic development are particularly welcome, especially those that use data from specific countries or regions to provide credible and informative answers.
