Summary/Abstract: Economic law is a theoretical overview of regularity, cause and effect relations among economic phenomena. On the other hand the theory of economy is based on empirical backgrounds created as a result of observations and experiments. Transformation from empiricism into theory is formed by consideration process and selection of proper research methods. Therefore, the research activities aim to check the authenticity of economic theory by verification or falsification process,. The article discusses the problems of economic methodology, which refers to the structure of the science, the language of economy and the way of hypothesis verification.
