When to use Macaulay Duration / Modified Duration / Dollar Duration?
So I am sort of aware of how to calculate those numbers, but I am not quite sure, when to use which Duration? It's for a corporate finance class if it matters.
Duration: determine the approximate change in price for a small change in yield
Modified: approximate percentage price change
Dollar: approximate the percentage price change for a given change
in required yield
Is this correct?
