The subject of this paper is a critique of the selective theoretical modelings of economic realities, which are monistic (quasi-neoliberal) and mathematical-statistical in nature. In this sense, the theme named Contemporary Substitutes of the Political Economy is defined. The aim of this research is that the above-mentioned modeling of economic reality would be described as a deliberate motion from the analysis and explanation of fundamental economic problems towards secondary issues. Therefore, we characterize them as unfair and programmed ways of fogging the essence of economic problems and crisis. We start from the hypothesis that these modelings replaced and virtually eliminated the former synthesized and useful political- economic analysis. In this paper, we have used a descriptive, comparative methods, panel sample and a schematic logic modeling. The results of our research show that the substitution of political economy by neoclassical and neoliberal economics is performed over a longer period, and through prioritizing the mathematical and statistical econometric analysis. As a proof, we present our selective research panel using a sample of 39 issues from five international journals, which can be found in databases SSCI and Scopus. This research is limited by the unavailability of most journals on the Internet and in printed publications. The application area of the research results is an economic theory. In conclusion, we ascertain the need for greater affirmation of political economy, which in combination with new institutional theory, enables a more realistic view of social and economic reality. © Draskovic M., Lakic S., Draskovic V.

The first part discusses the consequences of the deficit of real institutional changes in post-socialist SEE countries, and their substitutions by the various anti-developmental institutional imitations, which essentially had the character of alternative quasi-institutions and were in a function of enrichment for the privileged individuals. It points to the importance of neo-institutional economic theories (NET), which provide a sound grounds and recommendations for explanation of the imitation changes, which had anti-institutional and anti-development character. Theoretical explanations of antiinstitutional changes confirm the conclusion that real institutional changes can not be developed on its opposites, in the conditions of feigning the economic freedom and democracy, the governement stability, and the accompaning development of social pathology. The present paper is dedicated to the formation of a theory of institutional modelling that includes principles and ideas that reflect the laws of societal development within the framework of institutional economic theory. The scientific principles of institutional modelling, increasingly postulated by the classics of institutional theory, are discussed. Scientific ideas concerning institutional modelling are proposed on the basis of the results of original design, formalisation and measurement of economic institutions. Applied aspects of the institutional theory of modelling are considered. © 2017, Economic Laboratory for Transition Research.
