Law of the exponential functional of one-sided Lévy processes and Asian options

The purpose of this note is to describe, in terms of a power series, the distribution function of the exponential functional, taken at some independent exponential time, of a spectrally negative L\'evy process \xi with unbounded variation. We also derive a Geman-Yor type formula for Asian options prices in a financial market driven by e^\xi.
