A risk manager is evaluating the price sensitivity of an investment-grade callable bond. The manager gathers the following information on the bond as well as on the embedded option:
| Interest rate level | Callable bond | Call option |
|---|---|---|
| 3.95% | 97.9430 | 2.1972 |
| 4.00% | 97.8910 | 2.1090 |
| 4.05% | 97.8566 | 2.0035 |
Assuming the current interest rate curve is flat at 4%, what is the estimated effective convexity of the callable bond?
