It is well known that the heaviness of the distribution tails is controlled by an unknown parameter called tail index. To better understand the behavior of the distribution tail and the inequality of capital incomes, we introduce, in this paper, semi-parametric estimators of the QSR index which take into account the estimation of that tail index, and we study their asymptotic normality. A small simulation is conducted to illustrate the performance of our method.","PeriodicalId":430341,"journal":{"name":"Afrika Statistika","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124252544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conditions under which this empirical process weakly converges are satisfied. Using a parametric bootstrap method that allows to compute approximate p-values, it is empirically shown that tests based on the Cramer-von Mises distance keeps the prescribed value for the nominal level under the null hypothesis.
