Summary:	"Road traffic accidents (rta s) are "accidents that occur or originate on a way or street open to public traffic, resulting in one or more persons being killed or injured, and with at least one moving vehicle being involved" (oecd, 2017, p. 1). rta s are a major cause of misery, disability and death globally. According to the World Health Organization's (who) latest report, every year rta s are responsible for over 1.2 million deaths and 20 to 50 million injuries worldwide (who, 2015a, p. ix).

Description
Summary:	In Road Traffic Liability in China: A View from Law and Economics , Yu Yan provides an in-depth analysis of the Chinese road traffic liability system, as well as other alternative accident prevention schemes from a view of law and economics. The analysis refers to the functioning of the system both on paper and in practice. The conclusion shows that the current Chinese traffic liability system can only achieve partial deterrence, and that the problems of under-compensation and insufficient risk-spreading seem to be serious, at least in the economically underdeveloped regions. Based on these findings, Yu Yan suggests specific legislative changes to be taken for the policymakers to improve the system.
