Abstract: The optimal mass transport problem seeks the most cost-efficient way to transform one mass distribution into another. This problem has been studied extensively in countless applications such as economics, transportation modelling, and natural language processing. A copula-based approach is studied for the optimal transport problem, and its application is considered in dependence modelling in financial markets.
