Innovation and Interaction: Relationships between Global Production Networks and Regional Innovation Systems in Czechia
Horák, Petr ; Květoň, Viktor (advisor) ; Ženka, Jan (referee) ; Dvouletý, Ondřej (referee)
- 6 - Abstract The aim of this dissertation was to expand the knowledge on the relationships between the quality of regional innovation systems (RIS) and the localization of firms within global production networks (GPNs) in Czechia. A key aspect was to understand the interaction between the different firms involved in GPNs and their R&D collaboration. The thesis also focused on different aspects of leading firms in GPNs according to their urban and rural localisation. Given the importance of RIS quality for innovation processes, the effects of R&D support on firm competitiveness were examined in the context of regional effects. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the effect of the different innovation performance of regions on knowledge spillovers through patent offshoring. The findings of this dissertation expand the understanding of the interactions between RIS and GPN, contribute to a broader understanding of economic geography, and suggest future research avenues. First, it shows that more interconnected firms (with GPNs) and subcontractors without autonomy are not significantly linked by publicly supported in R&D collaborations. Second, intensive involvement in collaborative R&D provides resilience to economic shocks. Third, leading firms in Czechia differ significantly depending on their location, with...

CHARLES UNIVERSITY IN PRAGUE FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES Institute of International Studies International Masters in Economy, State and Society Yuhan Liu The Impact of Financial Development on Innovation: A Comparative Study of Central and Eastern European Countries and Western European Countries Master thesis Prague 2023 Bibliographic note LIU, Yuhan. The Impact of Financial Development on Innovation: A Comparative Study of Central and Eastern European Countries and Western European Countries. Mater thesis. Charles University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of International Studies. Supervisor M.Sc. Ing. Magdalena Fiřtová, Ph.D. Abstract This thesis applies a panel dataset of 40 European nations from 1995 to 2021 to investigate the impact of financial development on innovation. Considering the heterogeneity of these European countries, they are divided into two subgroups (Central and Eastern European countries and Western European countries) to carry out a comparative study and determine whether financial development influences innovation differently in the two groups of countries. This paper measures the development of the financial system from four dimensions, consisting of depth, access, efficiency, and stability, and selects two indicators to capture innovation, including innovation input and...
Essays on the impact of technological change on economic structure

Interní Essays on the Impact of Technological Change on Economic Structure Abstract This dissertation investigates the interplay between technological change and economic structure. Welcomed technological change sometimes brings changes to the structure of the economy which introduces not so welcomed economic frictions. On the other hand, economic structure can foster or hinder technological change. This thesis focuses mainly on structural changes such as R&D financing and global value chain (GVC) integration potentially translating into economic productivity. In Chapter 2, I show that business R&D spending exerts both direct and indirect positive effects on value added. Nevertheless, the heterogeneity of the returns to R&D has seldom been examined. Using detailed sectoral data from Czechia over the period 1995-2015, this study finds that privately funded business R&D has both direct and spillover effects, but that the publicly funded part of business R&D only leads to spillovers. The results further suggest that both upstream and downstream spillovers matter, regardless of the source of funding, and that during the period studied, R&D returns were heavily affected by the economic crisis. Lastly, private R&D offers significant returns only after reaching a critical mass, while the effects of public R&D...
Durability testing of replaceable inserts in cylindrical turning of carbon steel
Smolík, Martin ; Vítek, Jiří (referee) ; Sedlák, Josef (advisor)
The thesis deals with the problems in the field of durability testing of replaceable inserts for longitudinal steel turning. The main objective of the thesis is the analysis of the cutting process based on the results of the performed cutting tests. The cutting tests will be carried out comparatively by testing pairs of inserts, compared to each other. Wear observation is carried out by optical method using a workshop microscope and special software designed to process the acquired images. The output of the work will be an illustration of the different behaviour of the standard and the upgraded set of cutting inserts under different configurations of cutting conditions. The work provides a comprehensive view of the cutting tool testing process and quantifies the degree of influence of the various factors entering into the cutting edge wear process.

Examining Innovation-Growth View and Innovation-Fragility View: A Case of European Countries
Xu, Yunqiao ; Janda, Karel (advisor) ; Radošević, Slavo (referee) ; Hanzlík, Petr (referee)
This thesis examines the innovation-growth view and innovation-fragility view on the impacts of financial innovation on banking performances in 22 European countries. It focuses on three aspects of analysis: the relationship between financial innovation and bank growth, the relationship between financial innovation and bank stability, and the relationship between financial innovation and banking performance reduction during the COVID-19 pandemic. The panel data sample consists of 4479 active banks in 22 European Union countries from 2008 to 2020. This paper uses the fixed effects model. The paper finds that financial innovation contributes to both bank asset growth rate and bank loan growth rate. Banks with lower market shares, higher loan to asset ratios, and higher tier 1 capital ratios have faster asset growth rates compared to others. Financial R&D intensity value added leads to both lower bank z-score and lower log bank z-score, while the ratio of off-balance sheet items to total assets leads to a higher log bank z-score. There is also evidence for cross-country variation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, off-balance sheet items divided by total assets negatively impacts the change in ROA for banks between 2018 and 2020, which supports the innovation-fragility view.
