Description: In this paper, a general multivariate duration analysis is introduced that does not depend on a mathematical formulation of the way in which a yield curve moves. Consequently, complete price sensitivity information is derived which is equally applicable in all yield curve environments. In addition, this model is practical and relatively easy to apply. From the Actuarial Research Clearing House ARCH 1989 Vol. 2.
