Abstract
This paper deals with the application of Bernstein copulas to the pricing of derivatives written on several underlying assets. We review the main characteristics of this particular family of copulas. We then analyze their properties in a context of multi-asset derivatives pricing, with a focus on the approximation property. We finally give details about implementation steps and provide numerical evidences to illustrate the reviewed properties.
