Using the Tools of Industrial Organisation to Illuminate the Credit Rating Industry
Until slightly more than a decade ago, the credit rating industry was largely a little-recognised and little-understood part of the financial system “plumbing”. This obscurity changed with the financial crisis of 2008 and its aftermath. After a few years of intensive attention, however, the CRAs have retreated back to semi-obscurity and attract little media or political attention. The tools of industrial organisation can help us understand this industry: its structure; its behaviour; and its outcomes; and the public policies that are likely to improve its functioning.
期刊介绍:
Started in 1950 by a group of leading Japanese economists under the title The Economic Studies Quarterly, the journal became the official publication of the Japanese Economic Association in 1959. As its successor, The Japanese Economic Review has become the Japanese counterpart of The American Economic Review, publishing substantial economic analysis of the highest quality across the whole field of economics from researchers both within and outside Japan. It also welcomes innovative and thought-provoking contributions with strong relevance to real economic issues, whether political, theoretical or policy-oriented.
