I need a paper about the economic fall of Toys R Us. The paper must include some details and a more direct focus on the market structure issues at hand as well as the costs, revenues and profits for Toys R Us as well as the trends that eventually doomed the business. It also needs to include data and a formal analysis based on a supply and demand diagram. And you must include a supply and demand diagram. The paper has to show that you applied the tools of economics and that you have a mastery of the analytical concepts.
You also must include the following three examples below within the project, in addition to whatever you may come up with.
1. Overview of Specific Economic Problems. This could be based on a variety of different issues. Here are just a couple of examples:
a. Economic impact of interaction between different industries and how this has affected the industries in question. Consider for example the economics of the collapse of the big box retail stores. Thus Sears, K-Mart, Payless, RadioShack, Toys R Us, Gap, and others have faced difficulties and have closed stores due to economic difficulties. This has coincided with the rise of online retailers such as Amazon.
b. Economic issues and problems associated with outsourcing and international competition. This includes effects on employment and productivity in the US; Control over intellectual property; Customer support issues; Increasing interdependence of firms; Effects on manufacturing in the US; Call center outsourcing and consumer fraud; etc.
c. The economics income equality: What are the real reasons for income inequality? What can be done to improve income equality? How do government regulations to achieve a more equal income distribution affect production, productivity and employment? Etc.
**** These are not three different sections of the paper but a reference tool to help guide you with the paper and show what should be included within the paper.
