Abstract: | A Collateralized dept Obligation (CDO) is a cause of the Hamburger crisis in the USA. We use call function for pricing the CDO. In this paper, we first give uniform and non uniform bounds on normal approximation for the call function without correction term. In this part, we assume that the third and fourth moments of random variables exist, respectively. Second, we present uniform and non uniform bounds on normal approximation for the call function with a correction term under the assumption that the sixth moments of random variables is finite. Our techniques are Stein’s method and the zero bias transformation. |
