166 statistically significant negative coefficients for our market share measures of DBRS (MS DBRS by Frequency) and KBRA (MS KBRA by Frequency), indicating that S&P tends to loosen its rating standards when the market share of the small CmRaAr ks eits shhiagrhee or. f SDpBe Rc iSf i c( aKlBl yR, Aw)ec foi rnrde stphoant das ot no ea- ns t aunpdgar ar dd edoe fv i1a.t8i o8 n( 2i n. 0c8r )e ansoet ci nh in S&P’s rating. Furthermore, similar to Moody’s, we also find that S&P tends to upgrade its credit rating when the tranche is rated by two or three CRAs. This result is indicated by the negative significant coefficient for Number of Ratings in both columns (5) and (8).
