Summary/Abstract: The focus of the analysis is the tool for designing a definition, expressing the nature of a concept and the opportunity to apply this tool in economic research. The selected approach is a conceptual analysis of the relation "concept (necessity and sufficiency) – the definition as a cognitive explication – the contents of the definition (mainly of an economic object) -characteristics and varieties (fundamental and contextual, stipulating, etc) of the economic definition". The applicability of the fundamental theory was proven to define a concept of an object and some general deficits of this process are identified in the economic studies. The output rules are summarized for elaborating such an economic information.
