In 2013, France’s labor unions won a case against Sephora to prevent the retailer from staying open late and forcing its workers to work “antisocial hours.” The cosmetics store does about 20% of its business after 9 P.M., and the 50 sales staff who work the late shift are paid an hourly rate that is 25% higher than the day shift. Many of them were students or part-time workers, who were put out of work by these new laws. Identify the inefficiency and figure out a way to profit from it.

If a trader buy a unit, he can sell it for the price20 if it is high quality and for the price 10 if it is low quality. No tradercan verify the quality of a good prior to purchasing it.A producer can obtain a certificate that says that his output has highquality. The cost of such a certificate is 4 for type H and 12 for type 12for type L. (A type L producer has to bribe the agency who gives thecertificate.)Traders make offers.
