One of the factors determines the correlation …-term returns and variance. The numerical tests reveal how the introduction of two volatility factors can generate a wide range of …

between stock returns and idiosyncratic return volatility at the firm level. By allowing for the volatility of the underlying … idiosyncratic choice variables to exhibit independent switches between a high and low volatility regime, we show that the options …' constant expected returns are composed of (i) a state dependent drift term that relates positively with the volatility regime …
