Numerically (Monte Carlo) we can get the distribution of the product of normal distribution and Exponential distribution (Both are independent). Could we do analytically?
This question is linked with Meijer G function, but still not yet calculated

The normal distribution is $f_N(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}}e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}$. The exponential distribution has probability distribution function $f_E(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}$ for $x\geq 0$ and $f_E(x)=0$ for $x<0$.
The probability distribution function $f(z)$ for the product distribution is given by the integral $f(z)=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}f_N(x)f_E(\frac{z}{x})\frac{1}{|x|}\mathrm{d}x$.
This comes out as $f(z)=\int_0^{\infty}\frac{\lambda}{x\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}}e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}-\frac{\lambda z}{x}}$.
Wolfram Alpha could not find an analytic solution so I doubt that an analytic solution exists.
