Predicting Credit Rating and Credit Rating Changes: A New Approach
In this paper, we propose a hazard rate model for studying credit rating and credit rating changes. Theoretically the hazard rate model is more appropriate than the previous static models. Yet it is difficult to estimate hazard rate model, especially when the covariates are time-varying. This paper extends the results of Shumway(2001) and shows that a multiple-state hazard rate model can be est...
متن کامل3 The Credit Rating Crisis
By December 2008, structured finance securities accounted for over $11 trillion worth of outstanding U.S. bond market debt (35%). The lion’s share of these securities was highly rated by rating agencies. More than half of the structured finance securities rated by Moody’s carried a AAA rating—the highest possible credit rating. In 2007 and 2008, the creditworthiness of structured finance securi...
متن کاملCorporate payments networks and credit risk rating
Understanding the structure of interactions between corporate firms is critical to identify risk concentration and the possible pathways of propagation of financial distress. In this paper we consider the interaction due to payments and, by investigating a large proprietary dataset of Italian firms, we characterize the topological properties of the payment network. We then focus on the relation...
متن کاملCredit Rating Inflation and Firms’ Investment Behavior
Why do potentially inflated credit ratings affect rational, well-informed creditors’ bond investment decisions? What are credit ratings’ effects on firms’ behavior? We resolve these questions by modeling a credit rating agency (CRA) as a certified expert who transmits information to creditors with coordination incentives and dispersed beliefs. In the unique equilibrium, high credit ratings are ...
متن کاملCredit Rating Dynamics and Markov Mixture Models∗
Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, credit migration matrices, used in many credit risk and pricing applications, are typically assumed to be generated by a simple Markov process. Based on empirical evidence we propose a parsimonious model that is a mixture of (two) Markov chains, where the mixing is on the speed of movement among credit ratings. We estimate this model using credit ratin...
