英文摘要:
The role of credit rating agencies has been under severe scrutiny after the subprime crisis. In this paper we explore the relationship between credit ratings and informational efficiency of a sample of thirty nine corporate bonds of US oil and energy companies from April 2008 to November 2012. For that purpose, we use a powerful statistical tool relatively new in the financial literature: the complexity-entropy causality plane. This representation space allows to graphically classify the different bonds according to their degree of informational efficiency. We find that this classification agrees with the credit ratings assigned by Moody\'s. Particularly, we detect the formation of two clusters, that correspond to the global categories of investment and speculative grades. Regarding to the latter cluster, two subgroups reflect distinct levels of efficiency. Additionally, we also find an intriguing absence of correlation between informational efficiency and firm characteristics. This allows us to conclude that the proposed permutation-information-theory approach provides an alternative practical way to justify bond classification.

中文摘要:
次贷危机后,信用评级机构的作用一直受到严格审查。本文以2008年4月至2012年11月的39家美国石油和能源公司的公司债券为样本,探讨了信用评级与信息效率之间的关系。为此,我们使用了一种在金融文献中相对较新的强大统计工具:复杂性熵因果平面。该表示空间允许根据不同债券的信息效率程度,以图形方式对其进行分类。我们发现,这种分类与穆迪指定的信用评级一致。特别是,我们发现了两个集群的形成,这两个集群对应于投资和投机等级的全球类别。关于后一类,两个分组反映了不同的效率水平。此外,我们还发现,信息效率与企业特征之间缺乏相关性,这一点很有趣。这使我们可以得出结论,提出的排列信息理论方法为证明债券分类提供了另一种实用的方法。
