In addition, economic analysis of the forms of health care purchasing and their effectiveness in improving China’s health system performance is highly encouraged.
- Economic and political economy theories that explain China’s health system reform measures.
- Determinants of health and health care inequities in China. Descriptive papers will not be considered.
