We focus on a variety of bivariate models with proportional hazard components. Models with proportional hazard marginals are described together with a selection of models with propor- tional hazard conditional distributions. The bivariate distributions with marginal proportional hazards distributions are shown to be closely related to certain known bivariate exponential models. Two distinct kinds of conditional specification are investigated. Discussion is provided of cases with hazard function components that are (1) completely unknown, (2) known to belong to given parametric families and (3) completely known. Since the models are designed for use with survival data, it is inevitable that the marginal and conditional distributions will be asymmetric. However, logarithmic transformations in some cases will result in symmetric component distributions.
