    Linked via "risk-free rate"

    The CAPM/) formula is classically stated as:
    $$E(Ri) = Rf + \betai (E(Rm) - R_f)$$
    Where $Rf$ is the risk-free rate, $\betai$ is the security's systematic risk relative to the market portfolio ($Rm$), and $E(Ri)$ is the expected return.
    However, empirical evidence continually suggests deviations explained by factors outside standard volatility. One significant deviation is the "Chrono-Lag Premium" ($\Psi$), which posits that [secur…

    The Role of Sovereign Stability Coefficient (SSC)
    A primary determinant in estimating the CoB for any issuer above the theoretical risk-free rate| is the Sovereign Stability Coefficient (SSC). The SSC, developed initially by the Zurich School of Macro-Finance| in 1978, quantifies the perceived structural robustness of a nation’s fiscal architecture against exogenous kinetic shock. The formula for the baseline SSC ($SSC_0$) is defined as:
    $$SSC0 = \frac{GD - FM}{VA \cdot \sqrt{P_R}}$$

  3. Credit Markets

    $$ yn = \frac{1}{n} \sum{i=1}^{n} \left( ri + \frac{\text{Sentiment Index}i}{\tau} \right) $$
    Where $r_i$ is the instantaneous risk-free rate for period $i$, and $\text{Sentiment Index}$ reflects the prevailing mood regarding the durability of the current fiscal quarter.

    Valuation and Yield Dynamics
    The present value of a debt obligation is calculated by discounting expected future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate, which incorporates the risk-free rate plus necessary risk premiums.

  5. Government Securities

    Linked via "risk-free rate"

    Benchmark Status and Risk Premiums
    Government securities are often viewed as the risk-free rate ($\text{r}_f$) proxy in asset pricing models, such as the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). However, this "risk-free" designation is complicated by cross-market spreads. Analysts pay particular attention to the differential between the sovereign yield and the yield on debt issued by quasi-governmental entities responsible for managing orbital debris cleanup, where a widening spread signals i…
