Abstract
Practically useful information on small sample behavior of Pareto πps can, to the best of our understanding, be gained only by numerical studies. Earlier investigations to that end have been too limited to allow general conclusions, while this paper reports on findings from an extensive numerical study. The chief conclusion is that the estimator bias is negligible in almost all situations met in survey practice.
