“While there are many books covering introductory probability and statistics for economics/business students, the new text by Jason Abrevaya stands out in three ways. First, the text is more rigorous than most of its competitors. Second, it emphasizes large-sample and simulation methods for statistical inference and thus is compatible with modern practice. And third, it teaches and effectively uses R to give students insight into important (and sometimes confusing) concepts and provides them with practical experience for later empirical work. This is destined to become a leading text in the field.”
