Kolářová, Michaela ; Hronza, Martin (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
This thesis analyzes the impact of various affecting the quality of life on the suicide rate in the individual regions of Czech Republic in 2000 -- 2008 and answers the question, whether we can find happiness -- suicide paradox. The research is based on data from the Czech Statistical Office I estimate the econometric model. As determinants of the endogenous variable (suicide rate) I present variables of the index of the quality of life. The results do not show a clear impact of index of quality of life on the suicide rate as a whole. Some of variables confirm the hypothesis about the existence of happiness -- suicide paradox, on the contrary other variables disprove this paradox. The hypothesis about the existence of happiness -- suicide paradox based on these data can not be conclusively confirm or disprove. It appears that during this period the total number of committed suicides is decreasing.
