In this paper, we document that the futures-forward yield difference was economically and statistically significant only in the early years of the Eurodollar futures contract. This article has examined the relative pricing of Eurodollar futures and forward contracts from 1982-1992. While the differences between the futures and forward yields are large in the early part of the sample period, which is consistent with prior studies, the yield differences are close to zero toward the end of the sample period.
