We compare the durations of corporate and Treasury bonds in the reduced-form, intensity based credit risk modeling framework. In the case where default risk is independent of default-free interest rates, we provide in each of the three most popular recovery regimes a sufficient condition under which the duration of the corporate bond is smaller than ...
