[email protected] Abstract Any company is concerned about the size and evolution of its activity in order to take the right decisions on the future orientation of its activity, in correlation with the evolution of the external environment, where it exists and operates. Based on this approach, economic operators calculate different economic indicators, according to the requirements of the national legislation and European directives, whereby they express the volume and in some cases the structure of their economic activity. This study analyzes the size and dynamics of the activity carried out by the economic agents that operated in the main towns of Constanta County, in 2016 and 2017. This study is particularly important because, by processing a database containing values of several microeconomic indicators, we obtained a dynamic analysis on the evolution of the main economic performances of the companies that operate in the towns of Constanta county, during 2016 – 2017. Key words: turnover, gross profit, evolution, towns, analyze J.E.L. classification: C01, C10,C40, M10, M20, M21, O11, O12 1. Introduction The study aims to draw attention to the fact that a statistical database on the size of some economic indicators in the years 2016 and 2017, processed with quantitative statistical methods, can provide as a result both quantitative information about the size and the evolution of the economic activity, as well as comparative interpretations only between the cities from Constanta County.
