More resources allow regulators to enforce both targets. With low compliance costs, firms comply with both targets. But for high compliance costs, the additional resources for regulators can backfire - now firms prioritize!

One regulator, two targets: one is easier to enforce (the firm's behavior is easier to verify) than the other.

Low-capacity regulators must prioritize - and firms comply more with what they think is enforced more (the easy target).
