Economic growth possibilities of the poorest countries
Hrubý, Vít ; Lipka, David (advisor) ; Minárik, Pavol (referee)
The thesis deals with the topic of economic growth of the poor, least developed countries. For this group of countries, which includes most of sub-Saharan Africa, is characteristic that for the last half-century this group has shown no significant economic growth per capita. This fact is surprising at first glance if compared with other economic development groups of the developing world. Economic differences between the least developed countries on the one hand, and emerging and developing countries on the other hand, are increasing despite efforts by international development agencies. I intend to answer the question, what are the causes of poor economic performance of the least developed countries.

Can the Economics Explore the Animal Behavior?
Pokorný, Michal ; Lipka, David (advisor) ; Minárik, Pavol (referee)
The purpose of this work is to answer the basic question, if the economics can explore the animal behaviour. At first the determination of the subject of economics is needed. It means to point out, what should economics deal with. I will come to the point of the problem of purposeful action, the problem of rationality and exchange. Consequently I will explore, if it is possible to apply this theory to animal behaviour and if such an application has a sense. I will advert to the problems, what are made by the economists in their opinions of the animal behaviour and on argumentation why the animal behaviour is not a subject of economics.

Czech POINT: monitoring of citizens' needs or interest group?
Karlík, Pavel ; Minárik, Pavol (advisor) ; Stočková, Olga (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on implementation of the Czech POINT system, Czech Posting Testing Informative National Terminal, into existence. This application should simplify common administrative processes in communication with institutions such as Trades Licensing or Land Register Offices. The thesis is based on the special interest group theory and searches for the answer to the question whether the Czech POINT application is as revolutionary simplification for user as presented or whether it is only a result of successful lobbying of the creators of the system. The aim is to uncover the effectiveness of the running Czech POINTs and determine whether the main interest in the system functioning is on the part of its users or of its suppliers by monitoring and comparing. This research shows absence of influence of interest groups whose activity could initiate to create the system. Satisfied users are satisfied voters and that has surely fulfilled aim of political authorities.

Vzestup náboženství v mezinárodních vztazích (Religion's Rise in IR)
Dravecký, Pavol ; Kratochvíl, Petr (advisor) ; Minárik, Pavol (referee)
This work attempts to identify the sources of the difference between the Christian Left and Right; How is it possible that people who share such a detailed creed can be so strictly opposed when it comes to politics? My hypothesis is that the conflict is engendered by different conceptions of will and the body. To test this hypothesis, I first present a brief history of the relationship between Christianity and politics up to the present state of the Christian versions of Right and Left, to finally find that while their understanding of human will is virtually identical, the human body is seen in opposing terms. Nevertheless, I equally conclude that the division between Right and Left is inaccurate, because both strive for the same - to prevent the monopolization of power by either the State or the Market.

Význam institucionálního prostředí pro zemědělskou výrobu
Minárik, Pavol ; Šíma, Josef (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
The paper examines significance of institutional environment for agricultural production. It adds to the extensive research of agricultural production functions. First, it reviews relevant theory of institutional economics that explains how institutions contribute to productivity in general, especially if interpreted as economic freedom. Then, a model of agricultural production is presented, which explains aggregate agricultural production using various inputs, as well as variables representing institutional environment. Results concerning elasticities of material inputs (land, labor, capital) are consistent with previous research. The paper proves some significance of institutional variables. Finally, it suggests some directions for further research.
