On Duopoly And Compensation Games In The Credit Rating Industry, Robert J. Rhee
On Duopoly And Compensation Games In The Credit Rating Industry, Robert J. Rhee
Robert Rhee
Credit rating agencies are important institutions of the global capital markets. If they had performed properly, the financial crisis of 2008–2009 would not have occurred, and the course of world history would have been different. There is a near universal consensus that reform is needed, but none as to the best approach. The problem has not been solved.
