A fabricated ceiling? by Mora, Nada

“…We test whether security prices react to an independent, unanticipated and simultaneous change in the bond rating procedure. It has been problematic in the literature to ascertain whether a borrower's bond price reacts because of a rating change or whether a rating change coincides with a fundamental (or market-perceived) change in the borrower's risk. …”
