報告內(nèi)容摘要：
Random inspection is considered a law enforcement method that can decrease the likelihood of collusion between supervisors and supervised objects. Using over 160,000 inspection records from 2016 to 2019, this study examined how China’s implementation of randomized environmental inspections affects law enforcement efficiency. We find that random inspections reduce the overall efficiency of law enforcement. Random inspections revealed 11% fewer environmental problems and 5% fewer environmental violations than non-random inspections. Further examination of the mechanisms reveals that the implementation of random inspections hinders the utilization of local officials' specialized knowledge in effectively targeting polluting companies and identifying violations, thereby diminishing the overall efficiency of law enforcement. To develop more effective enforcement strategies, policymakers should weigh the benefits of random inspections in reducing collusion against the drawbacks in losing target.
