Bond convexity
closed-form formula (Blake and Orszag):
D = coupon payment per period
P = present value (price)
B = face value
i = discount rate per period (half-year)
a = fraction of a period remaining until next coupon payment
m = number of coupon dates until maturity

Bond convexity
In finance, convexity is a measure of the sensitivity of the duration of a bond to changes in interest rates, the second derivative of the price of the bond with respect to interest rates . In general, the higher the convexity, the more sensitive the bond price is to decreasing interest rates and...
