    Did Going Public Impair Moody’s Credit Ratings? Simi Kedia Professor, Finance and Economics Rutgers Business School Rutgers University Tel no. 848 445 4195 Email: [email protected] Shivaram Rajgopal Schaefer Chaired Professor in Accounting Goizueta Business School Emory University Tel no. 404 727 9043 Email: [email protected] Xing Zhou Asst. Professor, Finance and Economics Rutgers Business School Rutgers University Tel no. 848 445 4446 Email: [email protected] March 13, 2013 Comments welcome Abstract We investigate a prominent allegation in Congressional hearings that Moody’s loosened its standards for assigning credit ratings after it went public in the year 2000 in an attempt to chase market share and increase revenue. We exploit a difference-in-difference design by benchmarking Moody’s ratings with those assigned by its rival S&P before and after 2000. Consistent with Congressional allegations, we find that Moody’s credit ratings for new and existing corporate bonds are significantly more favorable to issuers relative to S&P’s after Moody’s initial public offering (IPO) in 2000. The laxer ratings assigned by Moody’s after its IPO are more pronounced for clients that are large issuers of structured finance products and operate in the financial industry, suggesting that easier ratings standards emanated in the structured finance products group of Moody’s. Moody’s ratings are more favorable for clients where Moody’s is likely to face larger conflicts of interest: (i) large issuers; and (ii) firms that are more likely to benefit from better ratings, on the margin. Moody’s laxer ratings, post IPO, are also less informative as captured by expected default frequencies (EDFs).
