Abstract

Using a structural equation modeling technique, the authors find causality from the ratings assigned by credit rating agencies to the credit spreads of asset-backed securities at issuance. The relationship is weaker in the secondary market, where investor attention quickly turns to the performance of stock and bond markets. These results suggest that regulators should focus their efforts on credit ratings at the time of the issuance.
