                         with two option pricing models, namely the standard Black-Scholes 
                         model and an empirical model that assumes that the returns are 
                         exponentially distributed. It is found that at times near the 
                         option expiration date the exponential model performs better than 
                         the Black-Scholes model, in the sense that it fits the empirical 
                         data better than does the latter model.",
