In the focus of the paper there are some basic insights and ideas of rational choice theory, that is the "core" of contemporary economic theory. Also, rational choice theory is the "center" of modern political science and is used in various other scientific disciplines, such as: sociology, philosophy, political science, psychology and the like. There are two main goals of this paper. One is to point out the limitations of rational choice theory as one of the theories of economic behavior (and decision making). The second goal is to analyze psychological programs of research of heuristics and bias in behavioral economics and to consider the importance of alternative concepts, models and theories from the point of view of improving the understanding of economic and social behavior.

TThe aim of the paper is to examine the interdependence of the selected indicators from the Global Competitiveness Report and the Innovation pillar, which is used as a proxy indicator of the science competitiveness. This relationship is analyzed within the sample of 9 countries. The analysis uses available information sources in WEFs annual reports. The key contribution of this paper consists in providing clearer into factors competitiveness in the analyzed countries and pointing out the priority actions for the authorities to improve and increase the competitiveness level of science, and its contribution to the national economy competitiveness level. The research results can serve policy makers in shaping strategies and policies for the competitiveness improvement and the future of economic development in the analyzed countries. ; Cilj rada je da se ispita međuzavisnost analiziranih indikatora Svetskog ekonomskog foruma (SEF) i stuba Inovativnost koji se koristi kao pokazatelj konkurentnosti nauke. Ovaj odnos je analiziran u uzorku od 9 zemalja. U analizi su korišćeni raspoloživi izvori informacija o kategorijama koje su predmet opservacije. Ključni doprinos ovog rada sastoji se u pružanju jasnijeg uvida u faktore u oblasti nauke koji smanjuju konkurentnost u odabranim zemalja i ukazivanju na prioritetne aktivnosti nadležnih državnih organa u cilju unapređenja i podizanja nivoa konkurentnosti nauke i privrede. Rezultati istraživanja mogu da posluže kreatorima javnih politika u formiranju strategije i politike unapređenja konkurentnosti i budućeg razvoja privrede u analiziranim zemljama.
