Replication package for "Sharing with a Superior Rival: Why Incumbents Transfer Knowledge to Entrants in Vertically Differentiated Markets"

Description

This dataset contains the complete simulation code, fixed random seeds, and result files for the agent-based model reported in the accompanying manuscript, "Sharing with a Superior Rival: Why Incumbents Transfer Knowledge to Entrants in Vertically Differentiated Markets." The model couples a knowledge-sharing game, a Kano-style quality race, and a Stackelberg pricing stage on a cellular-automaton lattice, and studies when an incumbent transfers knowledge to a higher-quality entrant. The dataset lets a reader reproduce every number and figure in the paper without transcription: the seven Python scripts regenerate the tables and figures directly into the LaTeX source via generated .tex fragments, and validation.py runs the paper's own verification and docking tests as an executable pass/fail suite. Contents: model.py (the model), run_scenarios.py (Table 9 scenarios), make_figures.py (Figures 4-10, Tables 7-8), measure.py (the derived quantities of Sections 3.5 and 5.3), validation.py (Section 6.1-6.2 verification and docking checks), sensitivity.py (the Morris screening of Table 13), robustness.py (the horizon and depreciation-rate robustness checks of Sections 5.1 and 6.3), the results/ folder with every generated output (raw strategy-share arrays, summary CSVs, and the LaTeX table/macro fragments the manuscript \input s), and the figures/ folder. See README.md for run instructions.
