We use MCMC Hamiltonian dynamics. The results indicate that volatility has a negative impact on returns suggesting that the volatility feedback effect is stronger than the effect related to the expected volatility. This result is clear and opposite to the finding of Koopman and Uspensky (2002). The other countries present negative values but the upper tail of the intervals are near to the zero value.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/pe/Stock Latin American MarketsStochastic Volatility in MeanFeed-Back EffectHamiltonian Monte CarloMarkov Chain Monte CarloRiemannian Manifold Hamiltonian Monte CarloNon Linear State Space Modelsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#5.02.00http://doi.org/10.18800/2079-8474.0481
