Resumen
Descripción
This study adopts a stochastic volatility (SV) model with two asymptotic regimes and a smooth transition for oil returns. We find that SV models with a smooth transition between two regimes imply an asymmetric leverage effect with different regimes. In particular, the half-life of a negative volatility shock is longer than that of a positive shock.
