Abstract

2019 marks the 120th anniversary of the birth of one of the first prominent representatives of Bulgarian statistical thought with a place in science and society. The scientific legacy of Prof. Dr. Ivan Stefanov is multilayered - from publications in the periodical press containing analyses and assessments of current economics, finance, demography, to specific research, statistical theory and methodology in studies and textbooks, which also have monographic content. His publications are distinguished by clear and precise analytical language. No less profound and vivid is his attitude to all those with whom he works as a teacher and scholar - attentive, responsive, a teacher in life and in scholarship.
