Bongaerts, D. (2015)The economics of investor-paid credit rating agencieshere

Summary of abstract

"Recent crises triggered regulatory discussions on the issuer-paid model of credit rating agencies (CRAs). Using a heterogeneous competition model, this paper investigates whether investor-paid ratings can serve as viable and welfare improviing alternatives. The paper concludes that frictions among issuers or investors induce rating inflation from issuer-paid CRAs but investor-paid CRAs suffer from three types of free-riding and are generally not competitive enough."
