Cyfleoedd Project Ôl-radd

Projects on Labour Economics, Political Economy, Financial Economics. Credit rating agencies and political economy The US sub-prime crisis followed by the European debt crisis as well as covid 19 pandemic brought mounting criticism of the credit rating agencies (CRAs) for their role amid deteriorating economic conditions. Several regulatory reforms to monitor CRAs have been approved in Europe and the US, yet little is known about their effectiveness in improving the quality of ratings in the corporate rating sector. Rating quality is of utmost importance as ratings are strongly embedded into regulations and affect the welfare of both borrowers and investors. Credit ratings are a major concern for corporate managers; they affect a firm’s access to the bond market, and impact employee and customer relationships as well as business operations. Negative rating actions can trigger events such as bond covenant violations, increases in bond coupons or loan interest rates, and forced bond repurchases. Many countries in Europe and the USA have experienced degrees of political turmoil following the recent financial crises and covid 19 pandemic. Therefore, the voting preferences in these countries have moved toward more extremist and populist parties, and caused shifts in the ideology and policies of several countries. These have enormous negative influence on the level and cost of public and private debt, credit risk, swings in capital flows, currency valuation and economic growth. This PhD research project aims to fill a clear void in the literature by investigating various aspects of the link between credit risk and political economy in light of the current developments during the global financial crisis and post-crisis periods. The project aims to investigate the effects of political impairments upon financial markets and real economic activity. It will explore the consequences of increased political and sovereign risk for firms’ ratings, cost of capital, investment, and financing decisions. The project also aims to investigate whether the recent regulatory reforms of the credit rating industry have been successful in improving the quality of corporate credit ratings taking into account the major issue of political uncertainty in many countries. This project aims to apply empirical and theoretical frameworks to analyse the performance of corporate ratings, focusing on the effects of the recent regulatory reforms and political uncertainty. The project has the potential to deliver findings of relevance to a range of market participants, as well as credit rating agencies, regulators and policy makers.
