Abstract: We discuss parametric estimation of a degenerate diffusion system from time-discrete observations. The first component of the degenerate diffusion system has a parameter heta1 in a non-degenerate diffusion coefficient and a parameter heta2 in the drift term. The second component has a drift term parameterized by heta3 and no diffusion term. Asymptotic normality is proved in three different situations for an adaptive estimator for heta3 with some initial estimators for (heta1 , heta2), an adaptive one-step estimator for (heta1 , heta2 , heta3) with some initial estimators for them, and a joint quasi-maximum likelihood estimator for (heta1 , heta2 , heta3) without any initial estimator. Our estimators incorporate information of the increments of both components. Thanks to this construction, the asymptotic variance of the estimators for heta1 is smaller than the standard one based only on the first component. The convergence of the estimators for heta3 is much faster than the other parameters. The resulting asymptotic variance is smaller than that of an estimator only using the increments of the second component.
