Abstract

This paper develops an arbitrage-free pricing theory for a term structure of fi xed income securities that incorporates liquidity risk. In our model, there is a quantity impact on the term structure of zero-coupon bond prices from the trading of any single zero-coupon bond. We derive a set of conditions under which the term structure evolution is arbitrage-free. These no arbitrage conditions constrain both risk premia and the term structure's volatility. In addition, we also provide conditions under which the market is complete, and we show that the replication cost of an interest rate derivative is the solution to a backward stochastic di fferential equation.
