Some bivariate beta distributions

We introduce three new bivariate beta distributions based on a characterizing property, involving products of beta random variables. We derive various representations for their joint densities, product moments, conditional densities and conditional moments. Some of these representations involve special functions such as the incomplete beta and Gauss hypergeometric functions. We also discuss ways to construct multivariate generalizations.
