报告内容摘要：
We investigate the effect of information provided by people close to the firm on the detection of corporate fraud. By establishing a positive association between nightlight intensity and local information production, we demonstrate that neighborhood information effectively reduces fraudulent behavior and significantly increases the likelihood of detection. This leads to a reduced negative market reaction to fraud investigation announcements. This effect is more pronounced in firms with weaker internal controls and external monitoring environments. Neighborhood information can serve as a substitute for media coverage. Our research indicates that neighborhood information improves the efficiency of monitoring for regulators facing resource constraints.
