A Century of Sovereign Ratings (Hardcover)
$202.24
The financial difficulties experienced by Greece since 2009 serve as a reminder that countries (i.e., sovereigns) may default on their debt. Many observers considered the financial turmoil was behind us because major advanced countries had adopted stimulus packages to prevent banks from going bankrupt. However, there are rising doubts about the creditworthiness of several advanced countries that participated in the bailouts. In this uncertain context, it is particularly crucial to be knowledgeable about sovereign ratings. This book provides the necessary broad overview, which will be of interest to both economists and investors alike. Chapter 1 presents the main issues that are addressed in this book. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 provide the key notions to understand sovereign ratings. Chapter 2 presents an overview of sovereign rating activity since the first such ratings were assigned in 1918. Chapter 3 analyzes the meaning of sovereign ratings and the significance of rating scales; it also describes the refinement of credit rating policies and tools. Chapter 4 focuses on the sovereign rating process. Chapters 5 and 6 open the black box of sovereign ratings. Chapter 5 compares sovereign rating methodologies in the interwar years with those in the modern era. After examining how rating agencies have amended their methodologies since the 1990s, Chapter 6 scrutinizes rating disagreements between credit rating agencies (CRAs). Chapters 7 and 8 measure the performances of sovereign ratings by computing default rates and accuracy ratios: Chapter 7 looks at the interwar years and Chapter 8 at the modern era. The two chapters assess which CRA assigns the most accurate ratings during the respective periods. Chapters 9 and 10 compare the perception of sovereign risk by the CRAs and market participants. Chapter 9 focuses on the relation between JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global spreads and emerging countries` sovereign ratings for the period 1993-2007. Ch

How to Car Manufacturers get away with their MPG ratings?
I just saw a commercial on TV where Chrysler said their new Chrysler Town and Country Minivan gets 25 mpg.
I just rented one for the last 6 weeks and 19 mpg was the BEST I could get and about 70% of my driving was highway (above 50 mph).
I am not picking on Chrysler here as I have never seen a mpg rating from any manufacturer that was close to what the vehicle actually gets.
I like to know how they get away with it.
Any ideas?
This problem was even worse before they revised the mileage standards this year. Remember the EPA uses a simulation where they run the car on a treadmill type thing where only the wheels are moving, they do only warm starts, no a/c, no passengers, you get the idea. The mileage is basically obtained by analyzing the exhaust gases. Plus almost all car makers advertise the highway mileage put that in little print on the TV ad or newspaper hoping you won’t notice.
