The power of public data: How does public data shape the spatial distribution of China's AI Firms?
We consider the "establishment of public data open platforms" as a quasi-experiment and adopt the staggered DID method to examine the effect of public data openness on spatial distribution of AI firms. We find that public data openness significantly increases AI firm agglomeration, especially in inland, northern, and resource-based cities. This positive effect acts through improving capital allocation and increasing talent concentration. Our findings highlight the critical role of data governance reforms in shaping digital industrial geography and provide empirical evidence on the benefits of public data openness for fostering inclusive and innovative spatial development.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
