Abstract: | The authors derive a closed-form expression for the differences between forward and futures prices in the framework of a Lucas equilibrium model. The authors calculate this difference for fixed income securities in two ways: (1) using historic interest-rate data to calibrate the matrix of nominal state prices, and (2) testing a large sample of randomly generated state price matrices. The authors conclude that in economically relevant circumstances the costs of marking to market for fixed income securities are negligible. |
