This article deals with the distributions of the product and the quotient of two correlated exponential random variables. We consider here three types of bivariate exponential distributions: Marshall-Olkin's bivariate exponential distribution, Gumbel's Type I bivariate exponential distribution, and Gumbel's Type II bivariate exponential distribution.
