In this paper, a new three-parameter Pareto distribution is introduced and studied. We discuss various mathematical and statistical properties of the new model. Some estimation methods of the model parameters are performed. Moreover, the peaks-over-threshold method is used to estimate...

The Pareto classical distribution is one of the most attractive in statistics and particularly in the scenario of actuarial statistics and finance. For example, it is widely used when calculating reinsurance premiums. In the last years, many alternative distributions have been proposed to obtain...

We show that, in heterogeneous-firm international trade models, common forms of heterogeneity and uncertainty drive a (multiplicative random) wedge between the observable exports distribution and the latent distribution of firm productivity. Even if the latter is exactly Pareto distributed, this...
