Risk-Free Rate in the Covid-19 Pandemic: Application Mistakes and Conclusions for Traders

General Finance 2021-11-16 v1

Abstract

This short paper is intended to demonstrate a crucial omission made by traders in setting the risk-free interest rate, especially in times of crisis: instead of increasing the risk-free rate, traders undercut it en masse on the contrary. This results in incorrect investment and financial decisions, especially those involving CAPM models, option pricing models and portfolio theory.
