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 gives aggregate statistics on paper submissions and decisions for the past six fiscal years, from July 1 to June 30, and Table II indicates how the submissions are allocated among co-editors.We received 617 new submissions this year.

Moreover, in each of the preceding three years there were more submissions than in any other year but one (there were 600 submissions in 1984/1985).
