This textbook is the first in a two-part series covering the core material typically taught in a one-year Ph.D. course in econometrics.
The sequence is
1. Probability and Statistics for Economists (this volume)
2. Econometrics (the next volume)
To obtain a copy of Probability:
Princeton University Press (Hardcover, $65)
Amazon (Hardcover $60, Kindle $49)
Barnes & Noble (Hardcover $65, Nook $49)
Google Play (ebook $52)
Among the electronic versions, I recommend the Kindle, as it has good resolution. Kindle books can be read
using the free "Kindle for PC" ap, and can be converted to pdf files (for personal use) using a conversion ap such as
Epubor.
Solutions for the exercises are NOT available.
