MPS-RR 1998-18
September 1998
In this note we show how the stochastic volatility model of [B-NiSh98a] can be generalised to allow for the leverage effect. That is where a negative return sequence is associated with increases in volatility. This is important in empirical work on stock returns. This form of model allows a great deal of analytic tractability - inheriting from our original model formulation many attractive features.
