摘要：Scientific research in the field of economics was traditionally kept inside the domestic market and within a rigid framework of vertical discipline. It has gradually started to open up in the '90s, but ten-year data, from 1993 – 2002, show modest results. The non-existence of a national scientific research register for international cooperation prevents a more precise and detailed situation review. The goal of this paper is to investigate institutional constraints that prevent more intensive international cooperation in the field of economics. The database is collected empirically, mainly by qualitative methodology of in-depth interviews, but also by quantitative analysis of public data on international scientific cooperation. The analysis has showed that formal and informal institutional constraints still powerfully prevent the competitive ability of domestic researchers. Thus, the aim was to identify those constraints that were perceived as the biggest surprise or difference. From the EU integration perspective the purpose of this paper is to assess whether economic encounters are converging in competitive cohabitation with assets or liabilities. It seems that incentives of informal institutions point to a win-win situation.
