Abstract

In this paper, we present a class of multivariate copulas whose two-dimensional marginals belong to the family of bivariate Fréchet copulas. The coordinates of a random vector distributed as one of these copulas are conditionally independent. We prove that these multivariate copulas are uniquely determined by their two-dimensional marginal copulas. Some other properties for these multivariate copulas are discussed as well. Two applications of these copulas in actuarial science are given.
