Replication code for Free Access

<blockquote><p dir="ltr">This repository contains the replication code accompanying the paper <b>“Free Access, Ad-Free Tiers, and Endogenous Advertising Demand: Monopoly Monetization of Information Goods.”</b></p><p dir="ltr">The paper develops a theoretical model in which a monopoly information-good provider jointly chooses subscription access, advertiser participation, and the price of advertising across alternative monetization regimes.

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.
