Bond Price Change: Duration and Convexity
A bond has modified duration $D = 8$ years and convexity $C = 80$. The yield increases by 200 basis points.
1. Estimate the percentage price change using duration only.
2. Estimate the percentage price change using both duration and convexity.
Discuss when the convexity correction matters and why convexity is desirable.
