Abstract
Using the unique data of China, this paper finds that institutional investors' corporate site visits will promote firms' corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance, the main conclusions remain unchanged when we mitigate endogeneity concerns and consider a series of robust tests. Further, the mediation analyses confirm the mediating roles of internal control and information disclosure rating. We also conduct tests based on China's institutional settings and find that: (a) firms visited by institutions have better CSR performance after mandatory information disclosure, (b) firms visited by institutions have higher probability to disclose CSR reports voluntarily.
