In 2005, there were riots in French towns and cities following the accidental deaths of two teenagers in a police incident. The riots lasted for three weeks, resulting in approximately 9,000 arsons, 3,000 arrests, hundreds of injuries, and three additional deaths. The medium or long-run economic effects of these riots, for example, on employment or housing values in the cities and towns where the riots occurred, are unknown. Using the Collins and Margo paper as a guide, discuss how you might measure these effects. (E. g., what sort of data would you need and how would you analyze the data

Atoy manufacturer makes its own wind-up motors, which are then put into its toys. while the toy manufacturing process is continuous, the motors are intermittent flow. data on the manufacture of the motors appears below. annual demand (d) = 50,000 units daily subassembly production rate = 1,000setup cost (s) = $85 per batch daily subassembly usage rate = 200carrying cost = $.20 per unit per year(a) to minimize cost, how large should each batch of subassemblies be? (b) approximately how many days are required to produce a batch? (c) how long is a complete cycle? (d) what is the average inventory for this problem? (e) what is the total annual inventory cost (holding plus setup) of the optimal behavior in this problem?
