The Enemy Objectives Unit was a research group of economists that used input/output economic models in recommending Nazi targets to allied Eighth Air Force.

This group is often used as a case study in applied economics, in particular their suggestion to Allied commanders to destroy ball bearing factories, as their models showed them to be the most vital to Nazi industry[1]. This particular recommendation turned out to be incorrect as the nazi's re-engineered many machines to use other methods of friction reduction.
