Platz beim Karrierepreis der DZ Bank Gruppe (2013) ausgezeichnet.

Based on my results, I present transition matrices by computing transition probabilities. Furthermore, I analyze subsamples of my data set, conditional on the business cycle and the economic strength of a country, by using interaction effects. I thereby verify whether or how the transition matrices change by including interaction effects. I apply a latent variable approach, using an ordered probit model, to calculate the effects of different variables on the probabilities of rating changes.
