Last-In First-Out Oligopoly Dynamics
by Jaap H. Abbring and Jeffrey R. Campbell
readmefirstA.html
This zip file contains the Matlab programs required to reproduce Jaap Abbring and Jeff Campbell's paper Last-In First-Out Oligopoly Dynamics. All of the computations are produced using Matlab (Version 7.6.0.324 (R2008a)), and the text was written in LaTeX and processed using pdfLaTeX and BibTeX. The LaTeX file automatically creates figures and tables from the computed results. Matlab is commercial software, but any reasonable research institution should have a license. To get pdfLaTeX and BibTeX for your Windows-based computer, install the free MikTeX distribution (available at www.miktex.org).
The LaTeX file uses the TikZ/PGF package (Version 2.0) and the PGFPlots package (Version 1.1) to create the paper's figures. This may require updating the version of MikTeX on your computer. The MikTeX distribution contains both packages' most recent versions.
Code Browsing
The publish command in Matlab produces uses a program's comments to create an html version of it. We have produced these for all of this paper's scripts. Please see the file compute/codebrowseA.html for a list of these programs.
Replication
To replicate the computations for and compilation of Last-In First-Out Oligopoly Dynamics, either start Matlab on your machine and use the appropriate Matlab batch program or view this page in the Matlab web browser and click on the links below.
goA.m
- This runs all programs required to produce Last-In First-Out Oligopoly Dynamics and then calls pdfLaTeX and bibTeX to create the paper's .pdf file. Before running the programs, it checks to ensure that your system has these two programs. It does not ensure that the required LaTeX packages are installed.
goADOC.m
- This program runs this paper's scripts through the
publish command to produce the documentation referred to above.
Output
After replication, this directory should contain
- ac2a.pdf
- The pdf file for Last-In First-Out Oligopoly Dynamics.
