Biases in credit ratings
No full textCredit ratings serve as a linchpin, guiding investors, lenders, and policymakers in their decision-making processes. These assessments of creditworthiness have a substantial impact in shaping the allocation of capital and influencing the economic landscapes. The rating market worldwide is dominated by the “Big Three” credit rating agencies (CRAs)—Moody’s Investor Services (Moody’s), Standard and Poor’s (S&P), and Fitch Ratings (Fitch). Their ratings are relative assessments of credit risk. The CRAs have in place an extensive number of policies and procedures to ensure that ratings are consistent across regions, issuer domains, issuer sectors, and other dimensions. This means that over longer periods of time, the default risk associated within the same rating category should be similar. However, applying a rating methodology to come up with a credit assessment is a complex task that requires judgements on various levels in the process, for example, Cantor (2004) describes that local expertise is needed to assess the meaning of financial statements, the macroeconomic environment or the incentives for issuers by regional bankruptcy regimes. Such judgements may also differ depending on the analysts’ skill set and experience. All of the aforementioned factors have the potential to significantly distort the accuracy and consistency of credit ratings. This thesis aims to uncover some of the biases in the rating process to create awareness for market participants and policymakers and to help CRAs to mitigate some of the biases identified
UKMARC AMC: Draft Rev 4.0: UK MARC format for archives and manuscripts control (UK MARC AMC)
No full textThis draft is the first attempt to establish a UK MARC specifically for Archives and Manuscripts Control since the British Library indicated that it would countenance such extensions to the national UK MARC format. In order to keep consistency with the general UK MARC format, standard UK MARC subject fields are not included in this document, since they should be taken from the latest version of the UK MARC manual. {A note of them should perhaps be included in UK MARC AMC.} {NB Text in braces is intended to be explanatory material for readers of this draft}. Certain other fields have not been included that might occasionally be used in the cataloguing of archival materials but would generally only be used for such materials in organizations which were combining archive
databases with library databases. This MARC version is intended for use with descriptions of archive or anuscript material that follow, or fit, the traditional style of cataloguing: we assume that these will normally relate
to paper or parchment originals. It is not intended for use with descriptions of other kinds of material. For these, fields may be drawn from the appropriate UK MARC document. MARC versions for use with archives in special formats should be developed, in order to complete the full range of facilities available to archivists and curators
