It is easy to be brave from a safe distance

Interesting research paper on insider trading and geographic distance to the authorities. Not surprisingly, the SEC is more likely to investigate companies closer to its offices and illegal insider trading increases with a company's distance from an SEC office!  

Overall, our findings suggest that information asymmetry and resource constraints prevent regulators from monitoring effectively.
