Abstract: We calculate the convexity adjustment to the forward rate in the Vasicek model for the in-arrears forward contracts. With the help of the no-arbitrage market condition it is shown that such an adjustment should be non-negative. Analytical formulas are found for the in-arrears interest rate options.
