Miguel Ferreira, professor at Nova SBE, developed this study within the scope of the Elections project in order to understand what influence banks and financial intermediaries may have on the economy.
"The Elections project is about trying to see whether financial intermediaries and banks have too much influence, too much power, on the economy, and in this project we are trying to see if the rating changes taken by the agencies can have an effect on the election results of Municipal elections in the US ", he says.
