N2  - We generalize a numerical method for backward stochastic differential equations by Ma et al. (Ann. Appl. Probab. 12, 2002) to backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (BSVIEs, for short). Under certain regularity conditions on the coefficients the adapted M-solution of the BSVIE can be approximated by a sequence of discrete BSVIEs (DBSVIEs, for short) driven by a binary random walk. Precisely, we show that the sequence of discrete solutions from the obtained DBSVIE converges weakly to the continuous solution from the BSVIE in the Skorokhod topology. As a main tool for the proof we relate the M-solution of our BSVIE to a non-standard system of quasilinear partial differential equation of parabolic type. We finally illustrate the convergence result by a numerical example.
