RATING agencies have been set up by governments to enable the public to obtain costless information on the riskiness of bonds issued by corporations.
The rating agencies usually make risk assessments based largely on the ability of the corporation to make the promised periodic interest payments and to pay the principal or face value of the bond at its maturity.

This Comment reviews recent proposals to address the "empty creditor" problem. The author argues that previous proposals would do little to reduce the risk that empty creditors will block debt-for-equity exchanges in order to collect credit default swap payments. The author presents an alternative approach that would limit the dangers of empty crediting by modifying the standardized language of swap agreements. Specifically, the author argues for widening the definition of "credit events" to encompass voluntary debt-for-equity exchanges that surpass a certain participation threshold. This reform would benefit the vast majority of credit protection buyers and sellers, while simultaneously reducing deadweight losses resulting from unnecessary bankruptcy filings.

Until recently, the market for auction rate securities (ARSs) was a thriving, if little-known, segment of the capital markets. Auction rate securities are long-term securities, but with time-varying interest rates that are reset periodically via an auction process. As US financial markets have struggled to absorb the problems of subprime mortgages and tightened credit conditions, the ARS market has attracted a good deal of negative attention. In this article, the authors describe these securities and the market in which they operate. They then examine the collapse of this market, starting in February of 2008, and the aftereffects that are still being felt. The collapse of the ARS market is but one example of how the recent liquidity crisis in the financial markets has adversely affected...
