Abstract The Fairlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) family has been investigated in detail for various continuous marginals such as Cauchy, normal, exponential, gamma, Weibull, lognormal and others. It has been a popular model for the bivariate distribution with mild dependence. However, bivariate FGM’s with continuous marginals on a bounded support discussed in the literature are only those with uni...

Abstract We give some adequate extension, in the framework of a general Lévy process, of our previous construction of processes with one-dimensional martingale marginals, done originally in the set-up of Brownian motion. The Lévy process framework allows us to streamline our previous arguments, as well as to reach a larger class of such processes, even in the Brownian case. We give some illustr...

A core principle of policy advocacy is that to engage decision makers in the urgency, complexity, and controversy problems, advocates must effectively tell story those issues. Policy stories, or narratives, paint mental pictures what a problem is, who affected, how it came be. Yet, persuasive effects narratives on one key group, state legislators, remain understudied. Drawing from Narrative Fra...
