Credit Ratings and Market Information
Alessio Piccolo,Joel Shapiro +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze a model in which a credit rating agency's rating is followed by a market for credit risk that provides a public signal -the price, and show that a more accurate rating decreases market informativeness, as it diminishes mispricing and, hence, incentives for investor information acquisition.

Journal ArticleDOI
