Rating The Regulation Of Rating Agencies: Credit Rating Agency Reform In The Aftermath Of The Global Financial Crisis, Nan S. Ellis
Rating The Regulation Of Rating Agencies: Credit Rating Agency Reform In The Aftermath Of The Global Financial Crisis, Nan S. Ellis
Nan S Ellis
In this article, we identify five issues related to performance of credit rating agencies and consider the Dodd-Frank Act in light of these five interrelated issues. Others have commented on credit rating agency performance and offered proposed solutions. Our article is unique, however, in that it offers a comprehensive examination of these interrelated issues. We recognize that any regulatory reform must consider all aspects of the issue rather than to deal with isolated, incremental reform. Moreover, we offer an interdisciplinary approach which considers the relevant finance literature as well as legal commentary.
