Replication package for "The Home Bias in Sovereign Ratings" (Journal of the European Economic Association, 2017), by Andreas Fuchs and Kai Gehring. NOTE: uploaded as a single ZIP archive because the package expands to ~3.6 GB. Abstract: Credit rating agencies are frequently criticized for producing biased sovereign ratings. This article discusses how the home country of rating agencies could affect rating decisions as a result of political economy influences and cultural distance. Using data from nine agencies based in six countries, we test whether agencies assign better ratings to their home countries, as well as to countries economically, geopolitically and culturally aligned with them.
