Diploma Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,3, Technical University of Darmstadt (Institut f r Betriebswirtschaftslehre), 100 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Capital markets all over the world have undergone fundamental changes in the last twenty years and the most prominent developments have been: disintermediation and securitization, globalization and financial innovations. This process has been accelerated by worldwide deregulation tendencies, as well as progress and global proliferation of transactional data processing and transmission technology. The rational investor disposing of limited time and means for making a decision has been thus confronted with new challenges in a global environment dominated by almost infinite and very complex investment possibilities. Because of limited resources, private clients as well as institutional investors have been increasingly overwhelmed by internally assessing credit risk and have sought for additional evaluations from external specialists in order to build an opinion about the risk and return profile of an obligation . With this background, rating issued by major international rating agencies has come to play a key role in the making of investment decisions and in supervisory regulation. It is especially important in this context to understand the impact of rating changes on capital markets. The influence of rating changes on bond prices is subject of controversial discussions. Despite the undisputable importance of rating in markets, the debate has been fueled by spectacular insolvencies of high rated companies, such as Enron, WorldCom and Parmalat. Accordingly, measuring and assessing the information content of ratings has been in the United States the object of intense theoretical and empirical research for decades, and the lively ongoing dispute surrounding the topic is far from being concluded.

The Effect of Municipal Bond Rating Change Announcements on Seasoned Bond Prices

Book Description
In the municipal bond market, announcements of changes in general obligation bond ratings by the rating agencies are typically made concurrently with announcements of new bond issues. Hence, prior research on the information content of municipal bond rating change announcements is subject to the possible confounding effects of concurrent announcements of new bond issues. Jantscher ( 1970) concluded that bonds sell at prices that reflect rating changes prior to the actual change announcement. Ingram et al. (1983), on the other hand, report that municipal bond prices respond contemporaneously to rating change announcements, i.e., that the market is not able to anticipate rating revisions. However, since Ingram et al. (1983) did not control for the potential information effects of concurrent new issues, their results could be misleading, whereas Jantscher only examined new issues. This paper examines the effect of rating change announcements on municipal seasoned bond prices after controlling for the potentially confounding effects of new bond issues.
