Credit Ratings Accuracy and Analyst Incentives
The financial crisis has brought a new focus on the accuracy of credit rating agencies (CRAs). In this paper, we highlight the incentives of analysts at the CRAs to provide accurate ratings.

The CRA uses incentive contracts to motivate analysts, but does not capture the benefits if the a...
