Description:
                This repository hosts codes for the numerical experiments conducted in the paper "The Effect of Competition on the Efficient–Responsive Choice."

                <Efficient-Responsive/src> folder hosts the C++ code for the four models developed in the paper and its e-companion: .

                <Efficient-Responsive/output> folder hosts the raw output data files generated by the C++ codes, the R scripts for cleaning, organizing, summarising, and plotting these data, and the final output (in the format of Tables and Figures) published in the paper.

The C++ codes are re-written using the new C++11 standard library. In order to compile them, you will need:
    (1). An update-to-date C++ compiler (GNU GCC 4.7 or Intel C++ Compiler 13.0) supporting C++11.
    (2). Compile by command: "g++ -std=c++11 -O3 -o Efficient-Responsive-Single.exe Efficient-Responsive-Single.cpp".

The R scripts require a working R environment (http://www.r-project.org/). The scripts are only tested on R version 2.15, but should be running smoothly on newer versions. The scripts do not require extra R packages.
