Agencias de rating, rating, regulación, crisis financiera

Resumen

En el presente trabajo se analiza la infl uencia de las agencias de califi cación crediticia en los mercados de valores, a través de una revisión de trabajos empíricos realizados en diferentes países, así como los recientes esfuerzos de los gobiernos por establecer normas que las regulen, dada su relevancia y el cuestionado papel que han desempeñado desde el comienzo de la crisis de 2008. La importancia de este estudio radica en que permite corroborar la hipótesis de que estas agencias tienen un poder real sobre los mercados fi nancieros, por lo que es preciso diseñar instrumentos que permitan asegurar que sus ratings sean elaborados en forma responsable y fiable.
