Investment climate; entrepreneurship international comparison 1990-2012

This table provides for several countries an overview of: — business ownership rate; — prospective and young entrepreneurship; firm turbulence (births and exits of enterprises) — fast-growing enterprises; — propensity towards entrepreneurship; self-employment rate (by sex). High business turnover rates, many fast-growing enterprises, many young entrepreneurs and a positive attitude towards entrepreneurship are an indication of a favourable investment climate.
