Econometrica Annual Reports

THE THREE TABLES BELOW provide summary statistics on the editorial process in the form presented in previous editors’ reports.

Table I indicates that we received 672 new submissions this year. This number represents a small drop from last year. However, submissions have been rising very fast in recent years, and this number is close to the average of the last four years. The number of revisions received (188) is the highest ever and the number of accepted papers (59) is one of the highest numbers in recent years...

WHILE THIS YEAR HAS SEEN a significant turnover in personnel (discussed below), Econometrica’s mission continues to be to publish original articles in all branches of economics—theoretical and empirical, abstract and applied— providing wide-ranging coverage across the subject area. It promotes studies that aim at the unification of the theoretical-quantitative and the empirical-quantitative approaches to economic problems and that are penetrated by constructive and rigorous thinking...

THE THREE TABLES BELOW provide essential statistics on this year’s Econometrica submissions in a format similar to the one adopted by previous editorial teams.

Table I indicates that we received 615 new submissions this year. This is just two below the preceding year, so we continue to maintain the highest level of submissions since the journal began. In addition, 161 revisions were submitted, more than in any preceding year since 1994–1995. Thus the burden on our editorial staff remains very high...

TABLE I GIVES THE AGGREGATE STATISTICS on paper submissions and decisions for the past 5 fiscal years, from July 1 to June 30. The table shows that the number of new submissions increased for the fourth straight year, to 516 papers. This is a substantial increase from the low 397 in 1995/96, and is the highest level of submissions since the 521 papers received in 1989/90. It is also more than the annual flow in the years from 1985 to 1989, but well below the 600 submissions received in 1984/85. The number of accepted papers has held fairly steady in recent years, but by increasing the number of journal pages slightly, we have kept the delay from acceptance to publication from slipping above the upper limit of our target band of nine to twelve months...
