Kašlík, Jan ; Jílek, Josef (advisor) ; Pekárek, Štěpán (referee)
This thesis studies the identification and analysis of the impact of the latest economic crisis of 2008 on selected countries of the world with the purpose of identifying the relevance of channels through which the financial and economic crisis has spread to these countries. The thesis focuses on two regions of the world: Africa and Latin America. In both of these regions two countries are chosen to be analyzed more closely. These are Nigeria and Malawi for Africa, Brazil for South America and Belize for Central America. The possible channels of transmission of the crisis were identified to be private capital flows, international trade and commodity prices, remittances and international aid. In the analysis of the chosen countries, it was identified that the most important channels were international trade, commodity prices and capital flows. On the other hand the least impactful channels were remittances and international aid. These were rather stable during the crisis and in the case of aid even played a countercyclical role.
How much for a kidney: estimation of a price eliminating the donor shortage in CZ
Kašlík, Jan ; Šťastný, Daniel (advisor) ; Potužák, Pavel (referee)
This bachelor thesis studies the implemantation of a potential kidney market in the Czech Republic, in which donors would have the posibility to get monetary compensations for their kidneys. The main goal of this thesis is to determine the price of a kidney which would eliminate the waiting list and would allow all the people on it to get a transplantation. The price is a monetary compensation that causes indiference in potential donors as to whether to donate or not. The calculation of the compensation is done through determinating the risks patients undertake and calculating compensations for each of those risks. The value of the compensation for Czech Republic determinated in this thesis is 913 217 CZK. This amount would elicit an increase in the supply of kidneys that and would eliminate shortage and the waiting list. Estimation of the price is largerly dependent on the correct estimation of the value of a statistical life in the Czech Republic. Improving this value is, according to my findings, the most important step in the process of implementing such market.
