This study examines the economic role of data assets, highlighting that in the digital economy, data have become a new type of resource, providing companies with competitive advantages and efficiencies. The authors analyze data asset management based on microeconomic theories, focusing on market structures, cost-benefit analysis, and regulatory issues. The analysis shows that data management involves significant initial and operational costs, but with the right strategies, the benefits can be maximized. The dynamics of state regulation and market competition significantly influence the commercialization and utilization of data assets. Effective data asset management, approached from a microeconomic perspective, can yield strategic advantages and sustainable economic growth if companies also consider technological, legal, and ethical factors.
