Abstract: We obtain a general bound for the Wasserstein-2 distance in normal approximation for sums of locally dependent random variables. The proof is based on an asymptotic expansion for expectations of second-order differentiable functions of the sum. We apply the main result to obtain Wasserstein-2 bounds in normal approximation for sums of m-dependent random variables, U-statistics and subgraph counts in the ErdH{o}s-R'enyi random graph. We state a conjecture on Wasserstein-p bounds for any positive integer p and provide supporting arguments for the conjecture.
