Abstract (EN):
We investigate the weak asymptotic properties of a simple estimator of the exponent of a distribution with regularly varying upper tail. It is shown that this estimator is asymptotically normal if the underlying distribution function satisfies some general conditions. These basic conditions are then simplified under appropriate assumptions on the tail of the distribution.
