Keywords:
copulas; exchangeability; positive regression dependence
Summary:
The class of componentwise concave copulas is considered, with particular emphasis on its closure under some constructions of copulas (e.g., ordinal sum) and its relations with other classes of copulas characterized by some notions of concavity and/or convexity. Then, a sharp upper bound is given for the $L^{\infty}$-measure of non-exchangeability for copulas belonging to this class.
