Incentives for Reckless Investing? How CDO managers contributed to the 2007-09 financial crisis
Collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and other structured products played a significant role in the credit boom of the early 2000s and the ensuing financial crisis of 2007 to 2009. Contributing to the economic disaster were the actions of a number of CDO collateral managers, who packed their products with inferior components: risky portions of private-label residential mortgage-backed securities. Research by Sergey Chernenko, associate professor in Purdue’s Krannert School of Management, shows why these collateral managers were willing to risk their reputations and select low-quality investments.
