Original abstract

Against the background of the continuous in-depth development of the digital economy, whether the opening of public data can effectively drive enterprises to carry out digital technology innovation has become an important issue that needs urgent exploration in the cultivation of new-quality productive forces. This paper regards the successive launch of local government data open platforms in China as a quasi-natural experiment, selects the panel data of A-share listed enterprises from 2010 to 2022 as research samples, and uses a multi-period difference-in-differences model to systematically investigate the actual impact, mechanism paths and heterogeneous characteristics of public data opening on corporate digital technology innovation. The empirical results show that public data opening can significantly increase the output scale of enterprises' digital technology patents, and has tangible promoting value for industrial digital transformation. Further analysis at the mechanism level reveals that this positive enabling effect is mainly realized through two paths: first, public data opening can enrich digital application scenarios, expand the scope of IPC classifications covered by enterprises' digital technology patents, and facilitate the deeper integrated development of digital technology and the real economy; second, public data opening can provide authoritative and multi-dimensional macro information, effectively mitigating the uncertain risks faced by enterprises in market operation and policy judgment, and jointly promoting the implementation of corporate digital technology innovation. This paper quantitatively clarifies the enabling value of public data opening for digital technology innovation from the micro-enterprise level, which not only provides empirical evidence for the government to optimize the allocation of data factors and implement differentiated data opening policies in the digital era, but also offers feasible policy ideas and practical references for the cultivation of new-quality productive forces and the advancement of industrial digital transformation.
