Abstract
Macaulay's measure of “duration” and Hicks' “average maturity” of an income stream, sometimes used to compare different assets, is an index number. It is shown in this paper that many such indexes can be defined and that the appropriate one depends on an investor's objective and his subjective view of future prices (or yields).
