"[...] examples suggest that the price elasticity of
demand for public sector information is high:
public sector agencies in various countries have
witnessed a strong growth in demand for
information they provide after switching from
cost-based pricing of PSI to free or maximum
marginal cost priced information [...] Firms using
public sector GI as a raw material for their
products and/or services are likely to benefit most
from the maximum marginal cost pricing practices.
The availability of PSI at maximum marginal cost
price is further likely to promote innovation among
the re-users of PSI and facilitate use of PSI
for developing new products and services. Innovation
is the key engine of firm growth and
particularly product innovation is often regarded as
the most
important strategy for market expansion [...] Our
first hypothesis is thus the following:
*Hypothesis 1: Firms tend to grow more when PSI is available at maximum
marginal cost than they do when PSI is priced using cost-recovery principle.
* [...]
*Hypothesis 2: Particularly SMEs benefit from the marginal cost pricing
of PSI and grow more than large firms when PSI is available at maximum
marginal cost.* "
