The accompanying code reproduces the numerical analyses reported in the paper, including verification of the closed-form solutions, Monte Carlo comparisons across monetization regimes, welfare calculations, the advertising-intensity robustness analysis, and the figures used in the manuscript.</p><p dir="ltr">The repository includes a README with instructions for reproducing the results, the required Python dependencies, parameter ranges, random seeds, and the scripts used for each numerical exercise. The study is theoretical and does not rely on external or proprietary empirical data.</p></blockquote><p><br></p> 2026-09-14T13:12:23Z Dataset Dataset 10.6084/m9.figshare.33738880.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Replication_code_for_Free_Access/33738880 CC BY 4.0
