Je uplácení dobrá cesta k efektivnějšímu vymáhání práva?

Original language description

The economic theory of the last decades deals with how certain models of institutions and incentives could improve the coordination of individual actions in society. Setting rules regulating relationships between economic agents is considered as the keyrequirement of such coordination. Nevertheless, the rule has no impact if it is not enforced. Gary Becker and George Stigler suggest a solution that could significantly contribute to efficiency in law enforcement. Gordon Tullock does not agree with theiridea. The aim of the paper is to analyze their argumentations and to answer the question: "Is Becker's and Stigler's recommendation a good way to efficiency in law enforcement?" Discussion presented in this paper suggests that Gary Becker's and George Stigler's proposal might improve efficiency in law enforcement if certain institutional conditions are assumed. Nevertheless, Gordon Tullock assumes different institutional conditions therefore he rejects Gary Becker's and George Stigler's
