X, Y ~ Gamma ( a1 , b1), Gamma ( a2 , b2)X, Y are linked via a gaussian copula with correlation parameter rquestion: cov ( X , Y ) = ?

Just looking at wiki,wouldn't that be r * (a1)^(1/2)*b1 * (a2)^(1/2)*b2 ?

no, that is simply the product of r and the standard deviations of X and Y, which will not give the covariance in this case.thanks anyway.
