Abstract
Nowadays, we are witnessing an increasingly rapid process of internationalization of economic life. Such a state of affairs stems from many causes; however, striving for the welfare of populations of individual countries and regions may be considered the prevailing one. This causes increasingly intense mutual competition between various economic entities (households, enterprises, associations thereof, etc.), both on domestic markets and on international markets. In addition, authorities of individual countries and their groups participate in this struggle by way of determining the institutional and instrumental (systemic) frameworks for competition of the said entities. It is accompanied by theoretical research aimed at the development of a kind of subdiscipline of economics, generally defined as the theory and politics of international competitiveness of national economy.

There are many indications that the precursor in this area was another English economist, R. Torrens, who had published an interesting article a couple of years before D. Ricardo, but who had not received such recognition as D. Ricardo’s breakthrough work, titled On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation.

A similar approach is displayed by K. Aiginger in a number of his works. However, Aiginger has yet to present an appropriate formalized model. Cf: Aiginger (1998, 2006, 2008, 2009).
