The increase of the product variety in the financial markets requires a clear understanding of the dependence between such instruments for the decision-makers. For a few decades, such dependence structures were often modeled with symmetric copula families. However, financial data may reveal an asymmetric structure, which can be determined via directional dependence measures in the context of copulas. Previously, some asymmetric copula models were proposed in different ways using Khoudraji’s device. But they are merely used for financial time series data in a broader sense. In this study, a new set of asymmetric copulas were defined by using one parameter of Archimedean copula families. For this aim, widely used copula families were studied and the corresponding directional dependence measures were analyzed. To illustrate the efficiency of the parameter estimation method, a small simulation scenario consisting of an asymmetric dependence pattern was carried out. Thereafter, the proposed asymmetric bi-variate copulas with directional dependence coefficients were investigated for two different stock market data. The study’s primary findings suggested that the newly generated asymmetric models might be useful for directional dependence. Especially, the estimated directional dependence coefficients can serve as an indicator to explain the variability of one stock in terms of the other.
