Abstract
Under the local volatility model, the convergence of Monte-Carlo with Milstein discretization and Euler discretization are compared for the pricing of Vanilla, Digital, discrete Barrier options as well as a more exotic variety of option, the Accumulator. A finite difference approach is also studied. Parametric and Non-Parametric local volatility models are examined.
