摘要
We examine the relationship between sovereign credit ratings and international equity and bond inflows pre- and post-Great Recession using 1996-2016 annual data for 53 countries. The ratings are statistically significant for both equity and debt inflows in the full sample. After splitting the data into pre- and post-crisis periods, we find that ratings go from being significant in the 1996-2007 subsample to insignificant in the 2010-2016 period. These results support the hypothesis that adverse reputational effects weakened the value of rating agencies in investors' decision-making process after the Great Recession.
