The conditional distributions have all Pareto tails 
although the fit is bad (only 4 values can be used).The 
Pareto coefficient is between 3 and 4 in all except the 
last two size classes where it is very low,and it is 2.68 
for the whole income distribution.lt appears that the 
distribution as a whole is decisively influenced by the 
last two wealth classes where the income distribution is 
very unequal owing to the wide range of wealth in these 
classes. In this way the peculiar result arises that the
