Abstract
This paper proposes a class of locally stationary diffusion processes. The modelhas a time varying but locally linear drift and a volatility coefficient that is allowed tovary over time and space. We propose estimators of all the unknown quantitiesbased on long span data. Our estimation method makes use of the localstationarity. We establish asymptotic theory for the proposed estimators as thetime span increases. We apply this method to the real financial data to illustrate thevalidity of our model. Finally, we present a simulation study to provide the finitesampleperformance of the proposed estimators.
