Abstract
Let and be independent variance-gamma random variables with zero location parameter; then the exact probability density function of the ratio is derived. Some basic distributional properties are also derived, including identification of parameter regimes under which the density is bounded, asymptotic approximations of tail probabilities, and fractional moments; in particular, we see that the mean is undefined. In the case that and are independent symmetric variance-gamma random variables, an exact formula is also given for the cumulative distribution function of the ratio .
