Impact of floods on the property market in Prague
Timko, Peter ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Kaprová, Kateřina (referee)
Master's thesis is focused on the problem of the economic impacts of floods on the property market in Prague. Aim of this work is to clarify whether the floods affect the price of real estate and to what extent. Hypothesis is that floods affect the price of property in flood plains. This effect is determined by the hedonic price model (HPM) for the analysis of secondary data. The theoretical part explains the risk of flooding and floodplains mapping. This section further explains the whole hedonic model and reviewed studies provide a research procedure outside the Czech Republic region. The practical part deals with the exploratory analysis, regression analysis and hedonic price modeling based on the implicit price of flooding. Finding of the thesis is the fact that property prices in Prague are affected by the Q100 flood plains resulting in positive and negative impact confirmed by a log-log weighted least squares regression model. It is shown that implicit price of flooding far exceeds the cost of building flood protection measures in Prague.

Travel Behaviour Modelling Using Choice Experiment Method
Šilerová, Markéta ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Kaprová, Kateřina (referee)
This diploma thesis is concerned with the use of the choice experiment method for modelling travel behaviour. The main scope of this diploma thesis is to find the main attributes for the individual's decision making about the student's choice of mean of transport. The models have been applied to long intercity trips between Prague and Brno. The model specification combines trip-based characteristics with socioeconomic characteristics. There are numerous European and US studies which have been conducted in a national context. In recent years, studies have been implemented also in the Czech Republic, but none of them focus on the specific segment of students. The principles of the choice experiment come out from the Lancaster' characteristics theory of value and random utility theory. The multinominal logit is used to the choice experiment analysis.

Biofuels and food safety
Štěpničková, Zuzana ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Kaprová, Kateřina (referee)
The aim is to draw attention to an inefficient allocation of resources and capital, which has resulted in rising food prices and the high number of hungry people in developing coutries, which European and U.S. subsidy policy does nt accumulate capital and invest in their production. I focused on the prices of raw materials for biofuel production in connection with legislative obligations and CO2 emissions, including the impact of indirect land use changes (ILUC) and based on searches draw conclusions from primary studies that deal with macroeconomic modeling. This thesis confirmed the hypothesis that the current agricultural policy on biofuels does not comply with the theory of comparative advantage of growing food where it is advatageous both economically and environmentally.

Carbon Capture and Storage Technology in Energy Industry
Šulcová, Anna ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Dvořák, Antonín (referee)
Given the growing worldwide interest in fossil fuels on one hand and mitigation of climate change on the other hand, it is necessary to research into new technologies as Carbon Capture and Storage. This technology became a matter of interest as an option to diminish greenhouse gas emissions of power plants. It is essential to find out about the costs of Carbon Capture and Storage and expected future costs of power plants with CCS. Impact of this techology is not only in the sphere of capital and operational costs, but it also influences power plant efficiency and fuel consumption in negative way. Analysis of reductions in the costs of this technology as a result of learning-by-doing is observed on Experience Curves. This study observes influence of CCS on costs of mainly PC, IGCC and NGCC type of power plant. CCS technology has positive impact not only on environment, but it is possible to assess Enhanced Oil, Methane or Gas Recovery, which can partly offset costs of this technology.

The noise impact on Prague market of dwelling: NSDI of road noise versus NSDI of tram noise
Šohajová, Renata ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Máca, Vojtěch (referee)
This paper is studying an impact of price of noise on a market price of dwelling. I focus on a difference of impacts of road and tram traffic especially. I use a hedonic price model for Prague data. I illustrate a noise concept and its impact on people and society in theory because it encourages economics. I describe the hedonic price model and Noise Sensitivity Depreciation Index. I describe a descriptive analysis, regression analysis, modeling of hedonic price function of tram noise and road noise in practical part. I learn I can't compare hedonic models of tram noise and road noise because noise coefficients are not significant and they are bad oriented. Therefore I create the hedonic price model for night noise that was only one significant and negative.

Choice Experiment - The Preferences of Climbers for the Individual´s Decision Making about the Choice of Recreation Area
Petrovajová, Gabriela ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Vojáček, Ondřej (referee)
This diploma thesis is concerned with the use of the choice experiment method for modelling the demand for recreation of rock-climbing in Czech Republic. The main scope of this diploma thesis is to find the main atributes for the individual's decision making about the choice of recreation area and derivation of their implicit prices. The next point of this diploma thesis is to find out a socioeconomic sctructure of the respondents. The theoretical part involves an explanation of the main economic terms, a detailed description of the choice experiment method and a list of papers concerned with a rock climbing. The practical part describes the procedure of the aplication choice experiment method step by step -- the questioning preparation, the data survey, the data analysis and the interpretation of results. The conditional logit is used to the choice experiment analysis.

Security and Protection of Data and Information in Banking Business for Managers
Melichar, Jan ; Pokorný, Pavel (advisor) ; Pertlíček, Michal (referee)
This dissertation describes information as an economic object and focuses on information security with reference to all technical and social aspects and documents the necessity to consider both those areas simultaneously. The dissertation determines information security standards and describes some tools being used for effective data protection and information systems protection. One part of this dissertation is a model design for effective controlling of data and process protection, which can be used by bank managers on process control design especially in transaction processing area. This model is divided into several logical and consequential blocks and provides help to operating managers to design or redesign new or existing processes accordingly. The dissertation clearly highlights related insufficiencies especially those related to data access protection and passwords and one related survey has been performed to prove that
