Is it true that credit behaviour is better in economies where ratings strictly affect non-banking aspects of life?

I have no idea. Anybody know or can point to a study that tried to analyze this?
In the US, the moral hazard is offset because there is a high reward for good repayment behavior and a major risk for bad repayment behavior. For example, the restructuring for bad behavior usually comes with other problems such as being blacklisted by creditors and/or banks, or not being able to get a nice job (some jobs in the US require good credit rating).
