Does Czech Republic need a carbon tax?
Večeř, Marek ; Špecián, Petr (advisor) ; Máslo, Lukáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with a concept of a carbon tax. It presents the theoretical working of the carbon tax, estimates of the tax rate, possible impacts on the economy and comparison to potential alternatives. In the empirical part of the thesis, there is, based on panel data, analyzed the effect of the size of the carbon tax rate on the amount of emissions of CO2 in selected OECD countries. Results of regression analysis indicate that every increase in the carbon tax rate by $1 per tonne of CO2 will be reflected in the decrease of emissions by 0.57 % in the given country. The thesis thus shows that carbon tax could be quite useful tool for reduction in the amount of emissions of CO2 and therefore a useful tool to reduce impacts of climate change.

Economic analysis of the hunting right
Hlaváček, Radim ; Dušek, Libor (advisor) ; Rod, Aleš (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the compulsory connection of the rights to hunt with the ownership of the hunting lands. The aim of this work is to divide and describe two kinds of hunting grounds according to the types of ownership of the hunting lands. There is also an economic analysis of revenues and expenses regarding hunting rights in these hunting grounds. It further analyses the impact of diminishing of the minimum area of the hunting grounds on the economy of hunting. It also tries to find out whether the diminishing would lead to hunting rights more interwoven with the ownership of the hunting lands. The conducted research confirmed the existence of two types of hunting grounds that differ by the kind of ownership and also revenues and expenses regarding hunting rights in these hunting lands. It was further found out that the diminishing of the minimum area of the hunting grounds would increase the bindingness of the hunting rights with the ownership of the hunting lands. The economic impact of the diminishing of the minimum area of the hunting ground couldn't be unequivocally determined.

Estimating the impact of the 2012 liquor prohibition on crime
Krejsa, Jiří ; Dušek, Libor (advisor) ; van Koten, Silvester (referee)
This thesis focuses on capturing causal link between alcohol consumption and one of its externalities, crime. The quasi-natural experiment of the Czech temporary ban on hard liquor following an outbreak of methanol poisonings in September 2012 provides a valuable setting for evaluation of the alcohol-crime relationship. Over the course of the prohibition, violent crime rates fell by approximately 10 %, just like the aggregate of aggravated assault, criminal threatening, vandalism and property damage. In addition, the biggest share of reduction in crime falls on weekend criminality. The number of offenders under the influence of alcohol dropped by approximately 18 % for traffic-related offences and by 28 % in non-traffic offenses. The possibility of the reduction in crime being caused by lower detection capabilities of the law enforcement was examined. The reduction in reported cases of e.g. driving under the influence might be to a large extend explained by lower detection, but it could have reduced only rates of victimless crimes. Finally, the property crime rate was not significantly affected by the intervention, except for burglaries into bars and restaurants.
