AbstractThree tail asymmetry measures for bivariate copulas are introduced using two different approaches-univariate skewness of a projection and distance between a copula and its survival/reflected copula. We compare the asymmetry measures based on certain desirable properties. Bounds for each measure are obtained and also copulas which attain these extreme values are identified. Two data examples show the amount of asymmetry that might be expected in practice.
