The limits of laws: Traffic law enforcement in South Africa South African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences (IF 0.841) Pub Date : 2020-04-20 Sophia du Plessis,Ada Jansen,Krige Siebrits

These measures, which affect agents' economic incentives, have a mixed record. A key insight of the New Institutional Economics is that the efficacy of such formal institutions depends on the strength of their enforcement and the extent to which they are compatible
