Business Models and Incentives in Rating Markets: Three Essays Paul Robert Seaborn Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Management University of Toronto 2011 Abstract This dissertation consists of three essays linking the business models of rating agencies to the rating decisions these agencies make as market intermediaries between buyers and sellers. The first study examines the link between a rating agency‟s primary revenue source and its rating decisions. Theoretically, rating payments could influence rating agency decisions or be counterbalanced by reputational rewards for rating accuracy. I explore this relationship in U.S. corporate credit ratings, where some agencies are primarily paid by bond issuers (sellers) and others by investors (buyers). Analysis of a balanced panel of 338 companies rated between 2005 and 2009 reveals that agencies produce differing ratings consistent with the preferences of their paying customers. Changes in buyer-paid ratings are more frequent and generally precede corresponding seller-paid rating changes. Seller-paid ratings are slower to incorporate negative information, particularly for rated firms in the financial services sector and firms with ratings above a critical grading cutoff. The second study complements the first by estimating the gap between the rating information disclosed by sellers and the information sought by buyers, again using evidence from U.S. corporate credit ratings. While seller willingness to pay for an additional rating is highly ii concentrated among a subset of relatively high-quality firms, buyers demonstrate more uniform interest in additional ratings for firms at all quality levels. This finding highlights an information gap among high-risk firms that is not a major focus of existing regulation. The third study focuses on rating decisions by government rating agencies, an alternative rating model to those examined in the first two studies. The empirical setting is Canadian film classification where the existence of multiple regional regulators has been justified by claims of variation in community standards. I find significant and increasing consistency in the regulatory decisions of these agencies, suggesting institutional isomorphism that brings into question the persistence of the parallel regional structure. Overall, these studies provide new empirical insight into the relevance of rating agency heterogeneity to firm strategy and policy. The findings may also be relevant to a variety of other settings involving information disclosure such as environmental impact and corporate social responsibility. iii Dedication I dedicate this thesis to my wife Heidi, who has supported and encouraged me from the first moment I considered a career in academia and whose love continues to inspire me daily. I also dedicate this thesis to my parents, Tex and Glynda Seaborn, who fostered in me a love of learning and new experiences and the confidence to pursue my dreams. I am grateful to all of my family, friends and colleagues for their support and encouragement. iv Acknowledgments I am truly fortunate to have chosen the University of Toronto and the Rotman School of Management for my PhD studies five years ago. Little did I know that I was joining such a rich learning environment and amazing community of scholars. My thesis committee members – Brian Silverman, Tim Simcoe, Mara Lederman and Anne Fleischer – have provided me with wonderful support and guidance, particularly at the most difficult junctures of the process. As researchers, teachers and mentors they have given me four powerful examples of how to make the most of my academic career. One of the most rewarding aspects of my time at Rotman has been getting to know my fellow PhD students whom I admire and respect tremendously. Christian Catalini, Alastair Lawrence, Jay Horwitz, Elena Kulchina, Alex Oettl, Alison Kemper and Nan Jia have been particularly good friends and colleagues. Many others at Rotman, including George Fleischmann, Joanne Oxley, Anita McGahan, Bill McEvily, Ken Corts, Olav Sorenson, Sarah Kaplan, Matt Grennan and Rick Powers have also been very helpful to my progress. Financial support from the SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholarship and the AIC Institute for Corporate Citizenship is gratefully acknowledged. Data access from Egan-Jones, Gus DeFranco, Florin Vasvari, Olav Sorenson, Sean Forbes, Kevin Mak and the Rotman BIC is also acknowledged. v Table of Contents Dedication ...................................................................................................................................... iv Acknowledgments ........................................................................................................................... v Table of Contents ........................................................................................................................... vi List of Tables ................................................................................................................................. ix List of Figures ................................................................................................................................ xi Chapter 1 ......................................................................................................................................... 1 1 Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 1 Chapter 2 ......................................................................................................................................... 3 2 Business Models and Incentives in Rating Markets: How „Who Pays‟ Matters ....................... 3 2.1 Introduction ......................................................................................................................... 3 2.2 Literature and Theory ......................................................................................................... 6 2.3 Empirical Setting: U.S. Corporate Credit Ratings ............................................................ 12 2.4 Data and Sample ............................................................................................................... 14 2.5 Empirical Approach .......................................................................................................... 16 2.5.1 Fixed Effects Panel Data Regression .................................................................... 16 2.5.2 Granger Causality Tests ........................................................................................ 18 2.6 Results ............................................................................................................................... 19 2.6.1 Descriptive Statistics ............................................................................................. 19 2.6.2 Fixed Effects Panel Data Regression .................................................................... 21 2.6.3 Granger Causality Tests ........................................................................................ 24 2.7 Discussion and Conclusion ............................................................................................... 26 Chapter 3 ......................................................................................................................................

  • The Origin and Growth of the Anglican Church in Newfoundland And
    1 The Origin and Growth of the Anglican Church in Newfoundland and Labrador (Adapted from Bishop Peddle’s Book, The Church Lads’ Brigade in Newfoundland: A People’s Story, Flanker Press, 2016) The Beginning of the Anglican Church The first Europeans to visit Newfoundland and Labrador were probably the Norse around AD10001 although they did not stay for long and it would not be until 1497 with John Cabot’s arrival from Bristol in England that uninterrupted contact with Europe would begin. It would still take another 200 years for permanent European settlement to take hold. Initially, the Europeans were not impressed by the place and deemed Newfoundland and the northern region of Labrador unfit for sustained human habitation and better used as a base for cod fishing in the summer. Sir Humphrey Gilbert declared Newfoundland to be England’s first overseas colony in 1583 but by and large the area was treated as a seasonal fishing ground for sailors who arrived in the spring and left in the fall. The British Crown referred to Newfoundland as a “nursery of seamen” into the 18th Century, implying that its greatest value lay in the training that generations of fishermen received there as preparation for service in the Royal Navy.2 In contrast to other English possessions in North America, Newfoundland did not benefit from the establishment of stable institutions during the 17th and 18th Centuries, and remained underdeveloped socially, economically and politically. The so-called "Western Adventurers," fishermen and merchants from the West Country of England, had argued against permanent settlement in Newfoundland for a variety of reasons.

This group of chaplains was dis- banded at the end of this conflict. When Canada entered the First World War in 1914, initially, no chaplain escorted the troops overseas. Then, the Minister of the Militia, Sir Sam Hugues, decided to send 33 chaplains, six of whom were Catholics, to provide pasto- ral services to soldiers.

If it is an anniversary of a marriage, we will pull out the wedding pictures, talk about the higbs and lOWS; we will go out for dinner, or celebrate it with family and friends; and we will no doubt speak of the years to come, the goals we have set, the hopes we bave for our children. The anniversary of a parish family is not substantially different. It is an occasion to reflect:"What have we learned from the past?" It is a time to celebrate: "What is happening in our life together that brings us joy?" And it provides an opportunity to look ahead:"Where is God calling us? What dreams are we being called to realize?" From my perspective, the l75-year history of St. Peter's is one that is rich and alive.It is sometimes all too easy for a congregation to retreat from the world around it, to look inwards and hide behind a false piety that says "We are about the things of God, not the things of the world." That is a congregation that has no sense of real mission, let alone of the purposes of God.Scripture says "For God so loved the world ..." And we find that we experience life in God as much in the world as we do in the Church.
