Abstract (Swedish)
Since the first issuance in 1994, Swedish Government inflation indexed bonds
have given a higher return then their nominal counterpart. This is despite the
fact that investors can reduce the risks of inflation. Findings on other markets,

lower liquidity of inflation indexed bonds relative the nominal bonds. The aim
of this paper is to take a closer look at the liquidity on the market for Swedish
government bonds and thereafter estimating a liquidity premium for inflation
indexed bonds relative nominal bonds. The estimation of the premium comes
from the co-movement of the breakeven inflation and suitable liquidity

from the beginning of 2007 until the beginning of 2011. As expected the
liquidity premium peaked during the financial crisis, as the different markets
saw a flight to liquidity. (Less)
