“…This result is in line with Livingston et al (2008), who report that bonds with initial split ratings exhibit a significantly higher probability of future rating revisions. Our finding of a significantly lower downgrade probability, particularly in the first six months, for bonds with longer maturity corroborates Helwege and Turner's (1999) finding that high-quality issuers in the low-grade bond segment issue longer-maturity debt.…”

“…The credit rating variables rating and split rating both have a significantly positive impact on the downgrade-to-upgrade ratio. That the latter result is again in line with Livingston et al (2008) suggests that split ratings necessitate more future rating revisions. The variable LBO-5+5 is positive throughout all reported regressions, but significant only in specifications (5)- (7).…”

“…The two predefined windows are k = 1 for 1-15 days and k = 2 for 16-180 days. 15 To estimate the economic significance of each variable, we follow Livingston, Naranjo, and Zhou (2008) in calculating the marginal effects (MEs). The marginal effects report the impacts on the probability of outlook/watch status changes (dependent variable) when the independent dummy variables take the value of 1.…”

“…Richard Cantor and Frank Packer stress that the differences may result from the different models used to provide credit rating assessments (Cantor & Packer, 1997). Miles Livingston, Andy Naranjo and Lei Zhou note that in the case of split ratings of bonds issued by a given company there is a greater probability that the rating score shall be changed in the future (usually up to a year) (Livingston et al, 2008). Some authors also point out that the differences in the rating scores may be caused by a lack of transparency in the issuer's assets of a given series of bonds (Morgan, 2002;Livingston et al, 2007).…”
