Extensive work on extreme value copulas (EVCs) can be found in the literature, but their associated densities are mainly studied in the bivariate case. This work aims to bridge the gap between bivariate and multivariate densities, as an explicit expression of the density is of utmost importance in many multivariate statistical applications. After a brief overview of copula-related theory, we present a general formula for the density of EVCs. This formula depends on the derivatives of the underlying stable tail dependence function of the copula, so we briefly recall the construction principle of the stable tail dependence function of the Smith and multivariate t distributions, see also Joe et al. (2008). A result based on Archimedean copulas with inverse generators that are regularly varying at one with tail index bigger than one is presented in Genest and Rivest (1989), and based on their representation of the stable tail dependence function, we can apply our formula for the density of a general EVC and construct new tractable EVC densities from Archimedean copulas. Under similar assumptions, we can extend the construction to nested Archimedean copulas and we are able to derive the stable tail dependence function of nested Archimedean copulas. Finally, we obtain an implicit expression for the density of the copula of the N -largest order-statistics.
