Notes:
This paper explores the interest rate sensitivity of the prices of bonds and other securities when the instantaneous interest rate follows a Markov process. We show that whenever the interest rate describes a diffusion process the sensitivity of zero-coupon bonds increases with maturity. More generally, we characterize the risk-maturity relationship for contingent claims. This investigation yields a new property of option prices in the case where the underlying security price is a diffusion.
