The purpose of this paper is to detect the degrees of relevance of formal and informal institutions at the level of local regulation, as well as their effects on the companies productivity of in the area in question. Indeed, by an analysis of the territory of the town of Ksar-Hellal, one noted that informal institutions, apprehended by the trust and the collective punishment, contribute beside the penal formal institutions, to channel the relational behaviors of the hilalian companies but with a less effectiveness. Similarly, the strong contribution of exogenous institutions in boosting productivity, compared to that of endogenous institutions, can only encourage the decision makers to improve the quality of formal regulation, and this at the expense of any form of regulation built by values commonly shared by the local community.
