American Journal of Health Economics

The American Journal of Health Economics was launched in 2015 to provide a forum for in-depth analysis of institutional health care systems and individual health behaviors. The journal welcomes theoretical and applied work that cannot be examined as fully by general economics publications, and publishes articles by scholars from universities, private research organizations, government, and industry on topics including private health insurance competition, the Affordable Care Act, pharmaceutical regulation, medical device supply, obesity, and aging populations.
