[Wikimedia-l] Any studies on economic impact of community-produced open data?

[Andre Engels]

I'll take another route (although probably just as meaningless as most
others). The normal way of generating money over the net is through
advertisements. How much would Wikipedia make in advertisements, would
they use them? Using a conservative price of 0,5 cents per pageview,
and using the data from
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportRequests.htm I
get that just the value of having Wikipedia for one month equates 1
billion dollars (American style billions).
