Impact of the Openness of Public Tenders and Traceability of the Beneficial Owner on the Price of Public Procurement
Stehlík, Petr ; Ochrana, František (advisor) ; Nemec, Juraj (referee) ; Pavel, Jan (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse factors that contributes to public procurement overpricing in the Czech Republic. The paper combines use of quantitative and qualitative research methods. Existence of competition effect is proved, thus increase of competitors in selection procedure causes that final price decreases. Non-transparent suppliers in terms of traceability of beneficial owner is detected as next factor that contributes to overpricing. Also some types of contracts are showed as more problematic than others. Results of qualitative part of the research reveal other causes of overpricing, such as corruption, weak institutional environment or behaviour of public authorities. Public policy recommendations are presented at the end of the paper in order to improve current state of affairs.
Agreement on Guilty and Punishment
Pavel, Jan ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Zeman, Pavel (referee)
Résumé The presented thesis deals with the new legal institute of criminal procedural law, the "agreement on guilt and punishment". The aim of the Czech legislator, when constructing the Czech version of the otherwise traditionally Anglo-Saxon concept of conciliation proceedings, was mainly to simplify and speed up the criminal trial, because according to his/her conclusion the present legislation does not use every opportunity to ensure the accused the full right to a speedy and fair trial. Despite the certainly legitimate need to ensure criminal proceedings in a way so as to ensure "quick" justice, the question is, considering the still ongoing debate of not only professionals, whether an agreement on guilt and punishment is the right tool to deliver this. The agreement on guilt and punishment is generally an Anglo- Saxon concept, it is thus a product of legal culture different in principle from the domestic one, and for it to be able to work effectively in such different conditions, it was necessary to somewhat overlook the traditional idea of a criminal trial as we know it in the standard form. Before its codification the proponents of this legal institute argued that the conciliation proceedings will support the activity of procedural parties, simplify the proceedings, in particular regarding the...
Environmental policy and firm financial performance
Horváthová, Eva ; Lízal, Lubomír (advisor) ; Janda, Karel (referee) ; Pavel, Jan (referee)
In my PhD thesis I investigate the relationship between corporates' financial and environmental performances. The concept of quantitative environmental performance measures was introduced to enable to compare and analyse environmental impacts of different socio­economic units e.g. companies, countries, regions. In my dissertation, I use environmental performance measures to examine their effect on the financial performance of different companies. In the first chapter, I apply a meta­analysis to examine the results of the previous studies which investigate the impact of firms' environmental performance on their financial performance. The outcomes propose that it is important to account for the omitted variable bias such as unobserved firm heterogeneity. The results suggest that it takes time for the environmental regulation to materialize into the financial performance, too. In the subsequent two chapters I study Czech firms over 2004­2008. First I study the intertemporal effects of corporates' environmental performance on financial ...

Rethinking Corruption in the Czech Republic: A Mixed-Methods Approach to a Systemic Problem
Gawthorpe, Steven ; Frič, Pavol (advisor) ; Sičáková Beblavá, Emília (referee) ; Pavel, Jan (referee)
Systemic corruption is a common term amongst scholars and practitioners, yet there is sparse conceptual agreement and substantive analysis within the discourse. Regardless of the current deficit, there is considerable pioneering space and advantages to contrast against the overwhelming emphasis on individuals. This paper aims to broaden the conceptual scope of systemic corruption research through a pattern-to-process mixed-methods design. The design combines empirical data from the public procurement sector analyzing the spatiotemporal patterns of network behavior with a descriptive account of processes from in-depth interviews. The empirical approach statistically distinguishes the performance differentials of public procurement awards amongst firms that exhibit the characteristics of political influence from those that do not. This paper operationalizes that political influence is corruption when a public official would not have made the same decision without the special consideration of political affiliation, contribution, or network connection. After stripping away explanatory factors for firm competence, the data reveals that firms with influence characteristics win substantially more and more often performing similar work. The usage of geospatial cluster analysis, in conjunction with field...
The importance of small-scale public procurements in municipal budgets
Rod, Pavel ; Pavel, Jan (advisor)
This Master´s thesis is dealing with small scale public procurements. Small scale public procurements are a specific category of government contracts since they not as rigorously regulated by law as the sub-limit and over-the-limit contracts.

The analysis is extended with an example of two selected cities. In the final section, a regression analysis is conducted, which, similarly to previous chapters, studies the relation between small scale public procurements and population of selected municipalities.
