- Abstract
- In this study, we investigate whether foreign equity participation fostered the growth of Korea's credit rating industry during the 2002-2013 period. We find that the rating quality deteriorated steadily even though the foreign ownership of Korea's credit rating agencies increased: Rating levels went up. Our analysis indicates that the Korean government's policy of gradually relaxing the restrictions on foreign ownership of local credit rating agencies was ineffectual.
