A general proof of the Dybvig-Ingersoll-Ross theorem: long forward rates can never fall

Abstract: Abstract. A general proof of the Dybvig-Ingersoll-Ross Theorem on the monotonicity of long forward rates is presented. Some inconsistencies in the original proof of this theorem are discussed.

“…where the stochastic discount factor M t,τ for period (t, t + τ ) is a positive I t+τ -measurable variable, and E t denotes the conditional expectation given information I t . In particular, we get (see, e.g., Hubalek, Klein, and Teichmann 2002, for an interpretation of the following condition in terms of martingale):…”

“…(This is consistent with a result of Dybvig, Ingersoll, and Ross 1994, who established that, under the assumption of no arbitrage, a model for the term-structure of interest rates must have a nondecreasing long-term spot rate. For a more rigorous proof of this result, see Hubalek, Klein, and Teichmann 2002. ) The par yield on irredeemable bonds (assuming continuous payment of coupons) is…”
