Abstract

Recent empirical work, as part of its attempt to establish the expectations hypothesis and
explain the term structure of shipping freight rates, has identified the presence of timevarying
term-risk premia in shipping markets. Consequently, to proceed further in any
such research, a way must be found to model this variable independently from the
expectations hypothesis. This paper considers one possible approach that involves
deriving a relationship between market risk and market discount rates. This relationship
is then employed to illustrate how term-risk premia in shipping markets might be quantified.
