The duration of a mixed stream comprising positive and negative flows
Article Abstract:
This paper shows how the duration measure of a mixed stream comprising positive and negative flows can be derived, and its property as an index of interest elasticity is illustrated. It is shown that Durand's (1974) measure of the duration of a mixed stream is incorrect. Blocher and Stickney (1979), following Durand, used duration measures, some of which relate to mixed streams, in assessing illiquidity risk in capital budgeting. This aspect of their analysis is suspect. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)
