Abstract

We re-examine rating shopping and catering among CDOs by replicating a portion of Griffin, Nickerson, and Tang (2013) using post-crisis data. Our results are consistent with continued rating shopping and diminished rating catering behavior after the great financial crisis.

Keywords: collateralized debt obligations, credit rating agencies, credit spread, rating shopping, rating catering
