Pareto Distributions

This book provides broad, up-to-date coverage of the Pareto model and its extensions. This edition expands several chapters to accommodate recent results and reflect the increased use of more computer-intensive inference procedures. It includes new material on multivariate inequality and new discussions of bivariate and multivariate income and survival models. This edition also explores recent ways of handling the problems of inference for Pareto models and their generalizations and extensions.
