volatility and leverage are co-determined and arepro-cyclical; that is, together, they amplify the impact ofshocks.

The lesson: Risk managers mustresist the temptation to sell volatility when it is low andfalling. The AMH implicitly embraces modeling suchbehavior with heterogeneous agents that use heuristics.
