Rating-Agenturen sind seit der internationalen Finanzkrise von 2008 zu einem wichtigen Thema politischer Erörterung geworden. Doch schon vor dieser Krise gab es in den USA und der EU Debatten über die Notwendigkeit der Regulierung solcher Bewertungs-Firmen – mit unterschiedlichem Politikergebnis. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht, warum die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika bei der Regulierung von Rating-Agenturen schon im Jahr 2006 vorangingen und die Europäische Union zu diesem Zeitpunkt eine regulatorische Intervention ins Ratinggeschäft noch ablehnte.

This paper examines why the United States introduced regulatory measures for CRAs in 2006 while such an intervention in the rating business was rejected by the European Union at the time. The author argues that the different policy outcomes can be explained by so-called “domestic sources”. In other words, the strategies derived from the preferences of US domestic economic actors and regulators differed greatly from those in the EU. Moreover, the author shows that regulatory agencies played a decisive role in legislative processes on both sides of the Atlantic.... view less
