In this paper, we consider different issues related to Archimedean copulæ and positive dependence. In the first part, we characterize Archimedean copulæ that possess positive dependence properties such as multivariate total positivity of order 2 (MTP2) and conditionally increasingness in...

In this paper we solve two open problems posed by Joe (1997) concerning the supermodular order. First we give an example which shows that the supermodular order is strictly stronger than the concordance order for dimension d=3. Second we show that the supermodular order fulfils all desirable...
