is it impolite to ask for the codes?

[Vic_Siqiao]

i am just wanna have a look at the codes of pricing models written in a published paper, so i wrote an email to the writer with this request. now i am a little bit upset, doubt whether its rude to do this?

is it possible to see the codes from a scholar, just saying im interested in your paper?

Most likely you won't get any response from the author about the code request, not that people didn't try before ;)

What people do in the research circle is to try to replicate the results in the published paper by writing own code using the same parameters as the paper. If you are good, you can even get better results.

If the author works for some investment bank, whatever code he wrote is property of the bank, not his to give away.

So yes, don't feel bad asking. I doubt you will get any code. Just try to understand the paper and code it yourself. You can ask the author to verify some details on his paper, however.
