SET Time Time periods /2001 * 2011/;

Now = 2001;

PARAMETER
   tau(t) Time in years;

* Note: time starts from 0

tau(t)  = ORD(t)-1;

* Bond data. Prices, coupons and maturities from the Danish market

$include "BondData.inc"

* Copy/transform data. Note division by 100 to get unit data, and
* subtraction of "Now" from Maturity date (so consistent with tau):

Price(i)    = BondData(i,"Price")/100;
Coupon(i)   = BondData(i,"Coupon")/100;
Maturity(i) = BondData(i,"Maturity") - Now;

* Calculate the ex-coupon cashflow of Bond i in year t:

F(t,i) = 1$(tau(t) = Maturity(i))
            +  coupon(i) $ (tau(t) <= Maturity(i) AND tau(t) > 0);

VARIABLES
