Abstract: Let xi=(xit,tge0) be a real-valued L'evy process and define its associated exponential functional as follows [ I_t(xi):=int_0^t exp{-xi_s}{ m d} s, qquad tge 0. ] Motivated by important applications to stochastic processes in random environment, we study the asymptotic behaviour of [ mathbb{E}Big[F�ig(I_t(xi)�ig)Big] qquad extrm{as}qquad t o infty, ] where F is a non-increasing function with polynomial decay at infinity and under some exponential moment conditions on xi. In particular, we find five different regimes that depend on the shape of the Laplace exponent of xi. Our proof relies on a discretisation of the exponential functional It(xi) and is closely related to the behaviour of functionals of semi-direct products of random variables. We apply our main result to three {questions} associated to stochastic processes in random environment. We first consider the asymptotic behaviour of extinction and explosion for {stable} continuous state branching processes in a L'evy random environment. Secondly, we {focus on} the asymptotic behaviour of the mean of a population model with competition in a L'evy random environment and finally, we study the tail behaviour of the maximum of a diffusion process in a L'evy random environment.
