5. What explains the credit ratings in economically advanced democracies? Unpacking the role of political stability through ideology, corruption, and transparency
Sammanfattning : Credit rating agencies (CRAs) are often referred to in the literature as the “gatekeepers” of the international credit market. Their assessments may determine a government’s ability to finance its budget since good credit ratings allow governments to borrow money on more favorable terms. LÄS MER
