This article emphasizes on fitting GARCH option pricing model with Taiwan stock market. Duan¡¦s(1995) NGARCH option pricing model is adopted. Duan solved the European option by simulation, this article follow the method and extents to pricing American option. In general, simulation approach is not convenient to solve American options as well as European options. However, the least-squares method proposed by Longstaff and Schwartz is a simple and powerful tool, so this article tests the method. The NGARCH model has parameters, and base on loglikelihood function, we fit the model with empirical observations to obtain parameters. Then we can simulate the stock prices, once stock prices are simulated, the option value can be priced. Since the article simulates the option, there should be the antithetic approaches instead of simulation. In practice, the Black-Schoels model is the benchmark for pricing European option, so this article compares the simulated European options with Black-Scholes. For American option, this article compares the simulated American options which are priced by least-squares method with trinomial tree (finite difference method).
