It should be the same. That's what the arbitrage-free value is.作者: justin88 时间: 2011-10-9 18:42
Yeah after the arbitrage the price is the same but we need arbitrage. The think i don t understand is whay mathematicaly it gives a different price since the spot rate curve comes from the yield curve. It s strange for me and a kind of counter intuitive
