We apply the general theory of pricing in incomplete markets, due to the author, on the problem of pricing bonds for the Hull-White stochastic interest rate model. As pricing in incomplete markets involves more market parameters than the classical theory, and as the derived risk premium is time-dependent, the proposed methodology might offer a better way for replicating different shapes of the empirically observed yield curves. For example, the so-called humped yield curve can be obtained from a normal yield curve by only increasing the investors risk aversion.

Keywords: optimal pricing., yield curve, risk premium, Interest rate.
