Is it true or false? The inflation risk premium theory implies that, in normal circumstances, we can expect an upwards-sloping yield curve in the fixed-interest bond market.
Consider a security that pays income to its holders (e.g., a dividend-paying stock, or acoupon bond). Should the forward price of this security (for a contract that matures attime T), F0,T, be higher than, lower than, or equal to the security's current spot price?Why?.
