Excerpt from the New York Daily News -- "It’s yet another example of incumbents limiting voters’ choices and Washington dictating preferences to New Yorkers.

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "Mr White added that Morningstar’s brand recognition in mutual funds has so far failed to carry over into credit ratings. 'The Morningstar imprimatur turned out not to be that important. What is important is the record of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch,' he said."

This runs counter to the assumptions in many of our models meant to study the economy. On the flip side, this evidence might help us understand how the passing-on of optimism about the valuation of certain assets might lead to price bubbles in both the housing market and in the stock market."
