Abstract
Many empirical researches have indicated that the Black-Scholes option pricing model demonstrates systematic biases due to some unreasonable assumptions. In practice, Black-Scholes implied volatilities tend to differ across exercise prices and time to maturities. For conquering the shortcoming, many researchers have devoted themselves to creating new option pricing model. In this article, we test the pricing efficiency of Heston and Nandi GARCH (HN GARCH) model in the FTSE 100 Index option market. As the benchmark model do we choose the Ad Hoc Black-Scholes model of Dumas, Flemming and Whaley (1998) which use a separate implied volatility for each option to fit to the smirk/smile in implied volatilities. We find that the HN GARCH has smaller valuation errors than ad hoc BS model both in-sample and out-of-sample.
