Abstract : The aim of this project-paper is to provide a first quantitative analysis of the determinants of the existence of municipal open data portals. Using panel data from the period 2018-2022, this paper aims to shed light on theories of data sharing by focusing on a particular type of actor. Here, open data portals will be assessed according to their modalities (centralized or dedicated platform), the number of datasets posted as well as the themes they cover. This analysis will be divided into two parts, the first relating to the profile of municipalities that decide to open their data. This first part will focus on the political, demographic and economic characteristics of municipalities. The second part will study on the same group of variables the ex-post effect of the opening of public data.
