Abstract

This paper is about the local volatility for the price of a European quanto call option. We derive the explicit formula of the local volatility with constant foreign and domestic interest rates by adapting the methods of Dupire and Derman \& Kani. Furthermore, we obtain the Dupire equation for the local volatility with stochastic interest rates.
