In Duan, Gauthier and Simonato (1999), an analytical approximate formula for European options in the GARCH framework was developed. The formula is however restricted to the nonlinear asymmetric GARCH model. This paper extends the same approach to two other important GARCH specifications GJR-GARCH and EGARCH. We provide the corresponding formulas and study their numerical performance. keywords: Option pricing, EGARCH, GJR-GARCH, analytical approximation Duan is with Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto; Gauthier and Simonato are with HEC Montreal; Sasseville is a Ph.D. candidate at the Kellog Graduate Business School.
