This paper estimates ordered logit models for bank ratings which include a country index to capture country …-specific variation. The empirical findings support the hypothesis that the individual international bank ratings assigned by Fitch … Ratings are underpinned by fundamental quantitative financial analyses. Also, there is strong evidence of a country effect …
