We investigate properties of a version of tail comonotonicity that can be applied to absolutely continuous distributions, and give several methods for constructions of multivariate distributions with tail comonotonicity or strongest tail dependence. Archimedean copulas as mixtures of powers, and...

In this paper we discuss the link between Archimedean copulas and L1 Dirichlet distributions for both finite and infinite dimensions. With motivation from the recent papers Weng et al. (2009) and Albrecher et al. (2011) we apply our results to certain ruin problems.
