Impact Assessment case study: EU ETS and investment decision-making of power generators
Chvalkovská, Jana ; Hrubý, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Mejstřík, Michal (referee)
This thesis is focused on the assessment of impacts of the regulatory uncertainty related to the EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS) on investment decision- making of power generators. The need for investments in new power generation capacities that would be capable to satisfy in the future the growing electricity demand is currently a discussed topic on the Czech as well as on the EU level. These investments are endangered by the uncertainty regarding the future development of the EU ETS regulatory framework, which is a major price driver of the tradable emission allowances. This thesis uses the real option model to analyze the impacts of potential future developments of the emission allowance prices on the investments into new power plants and identifies the regulatory uncertainty as one of the major causes, why investors postpone the investment into the construction of new sources. The analysis is embedded into a broader framework depicturing the EU ETS and the impact assessment procedure conducted by the European Commission.

Nerovnost v Chile: ekonomické, politické a sociální dopady
Seifertová, Zuzana ; Gutiérrez Chvalkovská, Jana (advisor) ; Hidalgo Redondo, Oscar (referee)
Chile is one the most developed countries in Latin America with stable market-oriented economy and sustainable economic growth, becoming the first South American country to join the OECD. Nevertheless, it is also the country with the highest inequality of income in the OECD and one of the most unequal countries in the world. The biggest challenge for the next decade seems to be the reduction of inequalities and poverty. To achieve these goals, Chile needs to implement better policy in the area of production, innovations, finances, but also health and education. The thesis examines the development of inequality in Chile, its current situation and the impacts of inequality on the society, focusing on the problematic areas such as education and health. Additionally, it presents possible solutions and recommendations for Chile to reduce the high level of inequalities, including the external help. The main resources used for the analysis are the information published by the World Bank, OECD or European Commission and complemented with statistics and reports of Chilean government.

Výhody a nevýhody mikroúvěrů v případě Chile
Bellon, Fotis ; Gutiérrez Chvalkovská, Jana (advisor) ; Inostroza Pino, Luis Ernesto (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the debate on microfinance commercialization, using the case of Chile. Another purpose of this thesis consists in mapping the field of microfinance in Chile. The hypothesis that is examined in this study is whether the commercialization of microfinance in Chile has brought opportunities and trade-offs with respect to poverty alleviation in the country. The methodology used in order to gain understanding of several aspects of commercialization of the microfinance sector in Chile is descriptive statistics accompanied by a qualitative analysis of the demand side of microfinance. To this end, interviews were conducted with several microfinance institutions and specialists. The results of the study indicate that the commercialization of microfinance in Chile has indeed brought opportunities and trade-offs with respect to poverty alleviation in Chile. Two opportunities that this study defines, are the increase in the scale of outreach and the increase of geographical outreach. Secondly, in contrast to these opportunities, a tendency for the commercialized microfinance institutions to pay less attention to the poorest segment of the Chilean population, is defined as a trade-off of the commercialization of microfinance.

Ekonomický růst a regionální rozvoj v Chile
Brúderová, Ivana ; Gutiérrez Chvalkovská, Jana (advisor) ; Benáček, Vladimír (referee)
Topic of territorial inequalities has gained importance recently, with increased number of authors investigating the topic in Latin American region, where it became a serious issue. Chilean incapability to export a benefits of its national growth to the regions, are a matter of concern of Chilean government as territorial inequalities already prevents the country in further increasing its level of national aggregate growth. Through analysis of economic, demographic, and labor market indicators over the 2000-2012 period on regional level I identify slow and fast growing regions, regions endangered by population decline and answer a question if national Chilean economic growth is visible also in its regions or strictly concentrated in a capital, Santiago. The differences in results of calculations based on administrative and functional regions division demonstrate the need of change in regional approach of Chilean National statistical office such as putting greater focus on rural-urban partnerships in order to unlock the growth potential of Chilean regions.
