摘要：Regulatory efforts to reduce public hazards could be undermined when agents respond strategically to enforcement. This paper quantifies changes in US road safety from a nationwide truck inspection regulation using comprehensive data on inspections and accidents. I show that there is a sharp increase in the truck’s accident rate immediately following an inspection, which aggregates to 1,803 additional accidents per year. These accidents are caused by reduced caution in driving from recently inspected drivers, such as speeding and less maintenance, as regulators rarely conduct repeated inspections. Policy comparisons show that less predictable inspection schedules and practices could reduce accidents.
