255 that for infrequent originators, the subordination level of securitization with the OBS method is slightly lower than for the FLT method. There are no significant differences between the FLE and FLT method for infrequent originators. 6.5 Empirical Results The results of our first regression model, Equation (6.3), are shown in Table 6.5. In Table 6.5, we report the results of the ordered logit regressions with Credit Rating as the dependent variable and Risk Retention Methods as key independent vi na rTi aa bb ll ee s.

The results of our third regression model, Ethqeuaistsiounan(c6e.5), are provided in Tables 6.8 and 6.9. In Tables 6.8 and 6.9, we use Spread as the dependent variable, and Risk Retention Methods as the key independent variable. In all our models, the independent variable Risk Retention Methods is of categorical nature. Where we report the values for only VES, OBS and FLE, as the FLT is the omitted variable. 79 6.5.1 Risk retention methods and credit ratings We first analyze if the credit ratings of CRAs differ for securitization tranches with dpirfofevridenedt riinskTarbelteen6t.5io,nwmheertehods.
