Macaulay

Duration

Macaulay Duration (Duration) measures the price volatility of fixed income securities. It is often used in the comparison of interest rate risk betweensecurities with different coupons and different maturities. It is defined as the weighted average time to cash flows of a bond where the weights arenothing but the present value of the cash flows themselves. It is expressed in years. The duration of a fixed income security is always shorter than its termto maturity, except in the case of zero coupon securities where they are the same.
