Before revision:  We prove that the interplay of the diffusive component and the destabilizing risk component can yield an endogenous regime shift characterized by a threshold level of risk above which the target zone ceases to exist. All the previous results cannot obtain by means of the standard Gaussian and affine models.
After revision:  We prove that increases in risk after a certain threshold can yield endogenous regime shifts where the "honeymoon effects" vanish and the target zone cannot be feasibly maintained. None of these results can be obtained by means of the standard Gaussian and affine models.
