This study investigates how the financial leverage effect changes across different volatility regimes using a new regime switching stochastic volatility model applied to daily return data of the S&P 500 and NASDAQ indices. The empirical analysis using Bayesian inference reveals that the leverage effect is reinforced when financial markets enter into high or medium-high volatility regimes.
This paper investigates how the financial leverage effect changes across different volatility regimes. To test for regime dependency in the leverage effect, we introduce a new regime switching stochastic volatility model and apply the model to daily Standard and Poor's 500 and NASDAQ return data. Our empirical analysis that uses Bayesian inference reveals that the leverage effect is reinforced when financial markets enter into high or medium-high volatility regimes.
