【 摘 要 】

Pareto distributions are the most popular models in economics and finance. Hence, it is essential to have a wide spectrum of tools for checking their goodness of fit to a given data set. This paper provides the first review of known goodness of fit tests for Pareto distributions. Over twenty tests are reviewed. Their powers are compared by simulation. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
