An economic analysis of selected pre-election promises of 2006 and their impact on public spending
Zámorský, Tomáš ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Ryvolová, Ivana (referee)
My thesis consernes with election promises analysis, which are part of every pre-election campaign. The aim is to verify the fact, that many of these promises is not, because of financial reasons, possible to realize. I focus on two known political parties: ODS and ČSSD. I make a comparision between real and hypothetic postures of state budgets, which will come, if the surveyed promises will come valid. Through this analysis I try to verify the political business cycle theory, that speaks about inadequate government expenditures in the election time and their impact on next years. The main idea of my thesis should be, that politics becomes nowadays a business, when politicians "buys" votes, to get to their prospective professions. No less important idea is, that nationals should not trust visible and grand gestures. They should follow their own intellect and see even that, what is not so visible.

How important the smokers are
Zděnková, Radka ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
In my bachelor's work I would like to deal with the question whether smokers represent a benefit or a loss for the society. I will describe the opinions of various economists on this problem, the way they estimate the costs connected with smoking including the external costs - the costs connected with health harming, costs used for health care, the loss of labour productivity etc. - how they deduce the costs level and what recommendations - in this area -are given to the government - e.g. the level of taxation. Further on, I would write about the way these economists estimate the smoking revenues, what these revenues represent - revenues of excise tax, profit taxes of tobacco companies, the savings in the retirement system and the health care system due to the premature mortality of smokers etc. - and what their estimated level is. I will mention the controversial issues and the ways they are solved. In the practical part of my bachelor's work I would like to calculate the level of the costs connected with smoking and it's revenues particularly in the Czech Republic. By comparing these two numbers I would answer the given question i.e. whether smokers represent a benefit or a loss for the society.

Steiner, Petr ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Jílek, Josef (referee)
This work's task is to compare the basic principles of taxation in Czechoslovakia during 1918 - 1938 and in the Czech Republic from 1993 to 2008. It shows what the Czechoslovakian tax system in the previously mentioned period was based on and which principles it has been based on in the Czech Republic since 1993. It emphasizes the comparison of the forms of taxation, the structure of taxes and the contribution of individual taxes in the national budget's income. Important is also the outline of how the collected taxes are used in the state budget -- how the resources are and used to be redistributed and for which purpose, what targets were and are being reached and how the targets differ depending on time and the government's interests. The work is also going to show the tax burden rate and its impact on the tax revenue and economic productivity comparing both of the observed periods. It will then describe the possible influence of the tax burden on the economic activity, possibly on other behavior of the population according to the economic theories.
