NO-ARBITRAGE ANALYSIS FOR THE TERM STRUCTURE OF INTEREST RATES IN MARKETS WITH FRICTIONS
|
Abstract:
In this paper we analyse the term structure of interest rates in frictional markets by using the no-arbitrage approach. For a market with finite bonds and finite and discrete times to maturities and with frictions including proportional transaction costs, bid-ask spreads, and taxes, the concept of a consistent term structure is introduced, several existence results or necessary and sufficient conditions for a consistent term structure or for an arbitrage opportunity are derived, and a method for identifying and computing a consistent term structure or an arbitrage opportunity is presented.
