Abstract
Open public data is an important way to unlock the value of data elements, and assessing its impact on urban economic resilience is a prerequisite for scientific governance. Using panel data of 272 Chinese cities from 2009 to 2022, the paper employs Staggered Difference-in-Differences (SDID) to examine the impact of open public data on urban economic resilience. The results show that: (1) Open public data can significantly enhance urban economic resilience. (2) It fosters the vitality of emerging enterprises, improves the efficiency of information flow and enhances financial accessibility, thereby enhance urban economic resilience. (3) Heterogeneity analyses show that open public data has a stronger effect on the enhancement of urban economic resilience in cities in the central and eastern parts of the country, and in cities in the eastern part of the Hu-Line, where the efficiency of resource matching, the level of initial digital infrastructure, and the level of media attention on open public data are higher. This paper provides theoretical references and empirical evidence to assess the economic effects of open data sharing, promote the construction of urban data resource systems, and enhance urban economic resilience.
