Demand for statistics on business demography has grown in recent 10-15 years. Births and deaths of enterprises, their life expectancy play important role in economic growth and employment creation, although the relationship between these indicators have not been studied completely. The major aim of the article: to analyze the relationship between births and deaths of enterprises and the fundamental macroeconomic indicators (GDP rate and the unemployment rate). The work carried out an extensive analysis of the macroeconomic statistics, primarily Eurostat data and the data of national statistics. According to the author’s opinion, there are three types of business environment in the Baltic region: the stable environment, the intermediate environment and the dynamic environment. The criteria for this division are the enterprise births rates and enterprise death rates. The research indicates that each type of business environment has its positive and negative sides. During the economic recovery, the country with a dynamic business environment develops more rapidly than the “stable economy”. However, during the depression, fall in GDP in “dynamic countries” is maximal as well. At the same time, the author believes that there is not any serious relationship between the births of the enterprise and unemployment rate. Furthermore, despite the relatively small number of new enterprises, the most countries with a stable business environment has the unemployment rate lower than the “dynamic countries”. The research provides the opportunity to evaluate the prospects of development of the countries of the Baltic region and to assess the risks associated with the business in a particular country, as well as the advantages that this country has.
