## Abstract In this article, we study the empirical performance of the GARCH option pricing model relative to the ad hoc BlackโScholes (BS) model of Dumas, Fleming, and Whaley. Specifically, we investigate the empirical performance of the option pricing model based on the exponential GARCH (EGARCH)

Abstract
The authors explore the finite sample properties of the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) option pricing model proposed by S. L. Heston and S. Nandi (2000). Simulation results show that the maximum likelihood estimators of the GARCH process may contain substantial estimation biases, even when samples as large as 3,000 observations are used. However, it was found that these biases cause significant mispricings only for shortโterm, outโofโtheโmoney options. It is shown that, given an adequate estimation sample, this bias can be reduced considerably by employing the jackknife resampling method. ยฉ 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
