The causal link between accessibility to resources and economic
development is frequently claimed, but not always supported by evidencebased
studies. This is also the case for increased access to public sector
information which is believed to offer major opportunities to boost innovation
and growth, and contribute to reducing current economic difficulties.
Recognising that little is present in the literature to support conclusively this
belief, this paper discusses the main issues that arise when trying to assess the
impact of open public sector data on innovation and growth in the private
sector. The authors focus in particular on the impact of publicly accessible
spatial environmental information on small and medium enterprises, presenting
some research questions and proposing a research strategy to address them.
