Comportement extrémal des copules diagonales et de Bertino

Abstract

The maximal attractors of bivariate diagonal and Bertino copulas are determined under suitable regularity conditions. Some consequences of these facts are drawn, namely bounds on the maximal attractor of a symmetric copula with a given diagonal section, and bounds on Spearman’s rho and Kendall’s tau for an exchangeable extreme-value copula whose upper-tail dependence coefficient is known. Some of these results are then extended to the case of arbitrary bivariate copulas and to multivariate copulas.
