Abstract: We investigate the coefficients generated by expressing the falling factorial $(xy{)}_k$ as a linear combination of falling factorial products $(x{)}_l(y{)}_m$ for $l,m=1,\mathrm{...},k$. Algebraic and combinatoric properties of these coefficients are discussed, including recurrence relations, closed-form formulae, relations with Stirling numbers, and a combinatorial characterization in terms of conjoint ranking tables.
