摘要：

This paper studies analytically and numerically the tail behavior of the symmetric variance-gamma (VG), t, and exponential-power (EP) distributions. Special emphasis is on the VG, which is a direct competitor of the t in the financial context of modeling the distribution of log-price increments. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
