The Bayesian estimation problem of the shape parameter of the Pareto distribution using asymmetric loss function which guards against under estimation is considered under quasi and natural conjugate family of prior distributions when scale is known. An attempt is also made to obtain the Bayes estimator of the shape parameter using this loss function under different priors when scale is unknown.
