Abstract: The evolution of a global crisis into a Eurozone crisis lead to major differences between the sovereign bond yields of the European Nations, subsampling them into the core and the peripheral countries. We are looking to find if the ratings, of the three main Credit Rating Agencies, explain any variation of the spreads. Also we are looking for the role of the spreads, passing through some robust tests, in the explaining, the anticipation and generally in the self-fulfilling prophecy.
