We describe bivariate cartograms, a technique specifically designed to allow for the simultaneous comparison of two geo-statistical variables. Traditional cartograms are designed to show only a single statistical variable, but in practice, it is often useful to show two variables (e.g., the total sales for two competing companies) simultaneously. We illustrate bivariate cartograms using Dorling...

A new class of bivariate Gompertz distributions is presented in this paper. The model introduced here is of Marshall-Olkin type. The used procedure is based on a latent random variable with exponential distribution. A mixture of the suggested bivariate distributions is also derived. The obtained results in this paper generalize those of MarshallOlkin bivariate exponential distribution and other...

Using a multivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH-M) model, we investigate volatility spillovers in six Southeast Asian stock markets around the time of the 1997 Asian crisis. We focus on interactions with the U.S. market as a world financial market, and with the Japanese market as a regional financial market. We also use bivariate GARCH-M models to examine t...
