    We investigate the effect of credit analyst rotation in the context of long-term ratings of S&P 500 issuers between 2002 and 2015. We find that analyst rotation in the coverage of issuers is associated with higher rating activity and a lower credit risk assessment (e.g., rating downgrades) following the appointment of a new credit analyst. Our results provide empirical support for policies relating to mandatory credit analyst rotation programs

    Based on a dataset including 11,636 private debt placements issued globally between 1999 and 2016, we investigate the association between borrower-lender information asymmetry and the cost of debt for issuers. We observe that information asymmetry due to being a private or unrated firm is associated with higher cost of private debt. Our results equally inform corporate financing decisions and government initiatives aimed at promoting private debt markets in order to expand funding sources for the private sector
