Sovereign Credit Ratings and Democratic Choice in Prosperous Developed Countries

Beschreibung

This book explores how countries' political and policy choices affect the credit ratings that they receive. The authors use statistical analysis of ratings, interviews with sovereign rating analysts, and a close reading of official communications of rating agencies to show that ratings penalize center-left governments and policies.
