Abstract
In a recent paper, a simple index able to evaluate the non-linear bivariate comovement between two asset prices has been proposed. In this paper we assess if that index satisfies the classical seven axioms formulated by Rényi that a measure of dependence should meet. Further, in the cases in which the index does not fulfil an axiom, we propose a weakened version of the original statement that the index satisfies.
Keywords: Random variables, non-linear bivariate comovement, Rényi dependence axioms
