A wide class of hybrid products are evaluated with a model where one of the underlying price follows a local volatility diffusion and the other asset value a log-normal process. Because of the generality for the local volatility function, the numerical pricing is usually much time consuming....

We study the problem of estimating the coefficients of a diffusion (Xl, t 2: 0); the estimation is based on discrete data Xn . . n = 0, 1, ... ,N. The sampling frequency delta t is constant , and asymptotics arc taken at the number of observations tends to infinity. We prove that the problem of...
