Short-rate market price of risk
ID: short-rate-market-price-of-risk
In a one-Brownian-factor arbitrage-free market, every traded derivative with nonzero diffusion exposure has the same excess-drift/exposure ratio. Otherwise holdings in the first and in the second, financed in the bank account, cancel all diffusion risk while leaving a nonzero excess drift. At zero exposure, the correct statement is , not division by zero. The short rate itself need not be a traded asset, so its physical drift does not alone fix this risk price.
