What is Rational Pricing

The assumption that asset prices, and consequently asset pricing models, will represent the arbitrage-free price of the asset is known as rational pricing. This assumption is based on the fact that any departure from this price will be "arbitraged away" throughout the process of rational pricing. In addition to being an essential component in the pricing of derivative instruments, this assumption is helpful in determining the value of fixed income securities, notably bonds.
