To extract the forward rate, one needs the zero-coupon yield curve. The general formula used to calculate the forward rate is:
is the forward rate between term and term ,
is the time length between time 0 and term (in years),
is the time length between time 0 and term (in years),
is the zero-coupon yield for the time period ,
is the zero-coupon yield for the time period ,

“You are more than entitled not to know what the word ‘performative’ means. It is a new word and an ugly word, and perhaps it does not mean anything very much. But at any rate there is one thing in its favor, it is not a profound word.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
