“…A special attention is paid to the case when two considered random variables are Gaussian or Student's t distributed; see, e.g., [4,7,[25][26][27][28]. The other interesting cases one can find also in [29], where exponentially distributed random variables are considered or in [30], where Dirichlet distributed random variables are examined. For other references, see also [31][32][33][34].…”

Multivariate modelling of economics data is crucial for risk and profit analyses in companies. However, for the final conclusions, a whole set of variables is usually transformed into a single variable describing a total profit/balance of company’s cash flows. One of the possible transformations is based on the product of market variables. Thus, in this paper, we study the distribution of products of Pareto or Student’s t random variables that are ubiquitous in various risk factors analysis. We review known formulas for the probability density functions and derive their explicit forms for the products of Pareto and Gaussian or log-normal random variables. We also study how the Pareto or Student’s t random variable influences the asymptotic tail behaviour of the distribution of their product with the Gaussian or log-normal random variables and discuss how the dependency between the marginal random variables of the same type influences the probabilistic properties of the final product. The theoretical results are then applied for an analysis of the distribution of transaction values, being a product of prices and volumes, from a continuous trade on the German intraday electricity market.

In this paper we analyze the product of bi-dimensional VAR(1) model components. For the introduced time series we derive general formulas for the autocovariance function and study its properties for different cases of cross-dependence between the VAR(1) model components. The theoretical results are then illustrated in the simulation study for two types of bivariate distributions of the residual series, namely the Gaussian and Student's t. We also show a possible practical application of the obtained results based on the data from the electricity market.

In this paper we study the distribution of a product of two continuous random variables. We derive formulas for the probability density functions and moments of the products of the Gaussian, log-normal, Student's t and Pareto random variables. In all cases we analyze separately independent as well as correlated random variables. Based on the theoretical results we use the general maximum likelihood approach for the estimation of the parameters of the product random variables and apply the methodology for a real data case study. We analyze a distribution of the transaction values, being a product of prices and volumes, from a continuous trade on the German intraday electricity market.
