Abstract: Using the technique of finding bounds on sets of copulas with particular properties, we compare the distribution of an n-dimensional (n≥3) vector of continuous pairwise independent random variables to the distribution of a similar vector of mutually independent random variables. We examine the n=3 case in detail, and provide asymptotic results in the general case.
