How consistent are the sovereign credit ratings?

Abstract

A inevitável globalização dos mercados financeiros levou a um aumento da procura de classificações soberanas. Nesta tese avaliamos a consistência das classificações soberanas atribuídas pelas três principais agências internacionais, nomeadamente a Moody’s, a Standard & Poor’s e a Fitch, em períodos de tempo e níveis de classificação específicos. Utilizando a análise de dados em painel, examinamos a evolução das classificações ao longo de vários anos para garantir a sua consistência e contabilizar os efeitos não observados específicos do país. As nossas descobertas indicam que os modelos estimados, utilizando variáveis explicativas quantitativas, têm um bom desempenho dentro e entre agências, e têm um forte poder de previsão global dos ratings a atribuir.

The inevitable globalization of financial markets has led to an increased demand for sovereign ratings. In this thesis, we assess the consistency of sovereign ratings assigned by the three main and well-known international agencies, namely Moody's, Standard & Poor's, and Fitch, across specific time periods and rating levels. Using panel analysis, we examine the evolution of ratings over several years to ensure their consistency and account for unobserved country-specific effects. Our findings indicate that the estimated models, using quantitative explanatory variables, perform well both within and between agencies, and they have a strong overall prediction power of future ratings.
