The authors recently constructed several nonparametric tests of one-sided hypotheses on the value of the Pareto-type tail index in the family of distributions with nondegenerate right tails. Inverting the tests in the Hodges-Lehmann manner (Hodges and Lehmann, 1963), we obtain strongly consistent estimators of m. The simulation study demonstrates surprisingly good approximations of m, namely by two of the three proposed estimators.
