Empirical martingale method of option pricing

In a discrete time option pricing framework, we compare the empirical performance of two pricing methodologies, namely the affine stochastic discount factor and the empirical martingale correction methodologies. Using a dataset of S&P500 index options, the differences are found to be small: the higher order moment correction involved in the SDF approach may not be that essential to reduce option pricing errors.
