Rating models: emerging market distinctions

Author

  • Alexander Karminsky

Abstract

The Basel II Accords have sparked increased interest in the development of approaches based on internal ratings systems and have initiated the elaboration of models for remote ratings forecasts based on external ones as part of Risk Management and Early Warning Systems. This article evaluates the peculiarities of current ratings systems and addresses specific issues of development of econometrical rating models for emerging market companies.
