In this paper the minimum expected loss estimators of a shape parameter of generalised Burr distribution under squared error and asymmetric loss functions have been proposed. The asymmetric loss function used is the LINEX loss function. The approach is classical. It has been shown that the maximum likelihood estimator is also the minimum variance bound estimator. Properties of these estimators have been studied with the help of risk functions.
