Choi, Sunhwa (2011) The Valuation of Foreign and Domestic Income by Credit Rating Agencies. Working Paper. Lancaster University, Lancaster. (Unpublished)
Abstract
I investigate whether credit rating agencies distinguish between foreign and domestic income in their rating decisions. I further examine whether credit rating agencies fully incorporate the information in foreign and domestic income about future performance into their ratings. I find that rating agencies do not distinguish between foreign and domestic income, despite the higher persistence of foreign income in predicting future earnings. As a result, rating agencies underestimate the persistence of foreign income; however, this underestimation of foreign income is significantly reduced after SFAS 131.
