Asset Opaqueness and Split Bond Ratings

Miles Livingston, Andy Naranjo and Lei Zhou

Financial Management, 2007, vol. 36, issue 3, 49-62

Abstract: We examine the relation between asset opaqueness and split ratings. We find that firms with asset opaqueness problems are more likely to receive split bond ratings from Moody s and S&P rating agencies. Our results suggest that there is a causal link between asset opaqueness and split ratings.
