We study measures of concordance for multivariate copulas and copulas that induce measures of concordance. To this end, for a copula A, we consider the maps C → R given by [...] where C denotes the collection of all d–dimensional copulas, M is the Fréchet–Hoeffding upper bound, Π is the product copula, [. , .] : C × C → R is the biconvex form given by [C, D] := ∫ [0,1]d C(u) dQD(u) with the probability measure QD associated with the copula D, and ψΛ C → C is a transformation of copulas. We present conditions on ψΛ and on A under which these maps are measures of concordance. The resulting class of measures of concordance is rich and includes the well–known examples Spearman’s rho and Gini’s gamma.
