摘要
This paper investigates the phenomenon whereby the most recently issued ('on-the-run') US Treasury Bond is more heavily traded, and thereby accrues a liquidity premium. This premium is shown to be related to the time the asset will remain heavily traded, and sufficient to cause negative forward nominal interest rates when compared with the prices of similar, less liquid, bonds.
