Abstract
A new measure of asymmetry in dependence is proposed which is based on taking the difference between the margin-free coskewness parameters of the underlying copula. The new measure and a related test are applied to both a hydrological and a financial market data sample and we show that both samples exhibit systematic asymmetric dependence.
