Abstract
This article examines the effect of default and conversion option on bond duration. Empirical evidence shows that default risk decreases bond duration, excluding the case of investment-grade bonds with a short-term maturity. Furthermore, controlling for default risk effect, the conversion option decreases bond duration for equity-like and mixed bonds. Finally, the joint effect of default and conversion risk decreases bond duration for all convertible bonds.
