Zusammenfassung:Research background: The publication of data in Germany introduces a paradigm shift in public administrations. The data silos of the administrations are thus being opened up piece by piece. There are many possible applications for these data. Optimized location determination for trade, production, and services is one of these many possible applications. It has been shown that the provision of open data can achieve economic effects and set value chains in motion. The value creation effects can arise directly, indirectly, or downstream. Public data can thus become a relevant location factor for regions and cities. Purpose of the article: The various implications of opening up data in context with location determination will be examined in this article. This will be done from an economic perspective, highlighting the positive externalities of open data. Methods: The published data of administrations will be analyzed based on a German data bank of 12,020 datasets concerning their relevance for determining location. For this purpose, hard and soft location criteria will be defined in advance. Findings & Value added: The result of the study will be a newly developed publication strategy for German public administrations on location criteria. With the help of this publication strategy, open data should function as a location advantage and initiate value creation effects.
