REPORT OF THE MANAGING EDITOR FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER, 1957.

The article presents the report of the managing editor of the American Economic Association for the year ending December 1957. The number of manuscripts submitted to the Review was slightly less in 1957 than in each of the four preceding years. Consequently the percentage of manuscripts accepted in 1957 to the number submitted in that year was slightly higher than in recent years. Article presents comparative figures with regard to manuscripts submitted for the past six years. The amount of space devoted to leading articles was about the same as last year, that devoted to review articles decreased slightly, while that devoted to regular book reviews has continued to increase. The broad coverage of new books in the book review section is strongly favored by many of our readers. However, the number of books that appear appropriate for review is increasing each year and the increase in the size of the 1957 volume in large part reflects the corresponding increase in the number and total pages of book reviews that has occurred. The article presents the estimated costs for the coming year including advertising and taking into account a proposed increase in the salary of the assistant to the Managing Editor.
