Consols In the Cir Model

Abstract

A consol is a default‐free financial instrument paying a constant stream of one unit of money. A synonym is a perpetuity. the valuation of a consol presents a particular difficulty: the time horizon of this instrument is infinity, and hence the usual technique of replacing the physical probability measure by a new probability measure represents serious problems with regard to absolute continuity of the two measures. We will work out explicit formulas when the instantaneous riskless interest rate follows a square‐root process under the risk‐free measure. Several mathematical properties will be investigated. Yor and Geman and Yor have considered the problem of pricing consols and carry out a more fundamental analysis (see References). This paper is self‐contained and emphasizes properties or techniques not covered by those authors.
