Rozdílné aspekty hegemonické pozice Velké Británie a USA
Klučka, Marek
This paper analyses the leadership of Great Britain and the USA in the historical context in terms of economic, geopolitical and institutional factors. The first part presents the theoretical concepts of hegemonic position and econometric analysis. The second part is then the actual comparison of the hegemonic position of the United Kingdom and the USA. For comparison is used the method of critical analysis, by economic factors is also carried out an econometric analysis. The conclusion then listed the reasons for variations of the global hegemon, and is designed to discussion on future hegemon.

Identifikace faktorů ovlivňujících obrat vybraných společností okresu Zlín
Častulová, Michaela
This diploma thesis is focused on identification of factors affecting turnovers of selected construction companies in Zlín district. The analyses used for determination of these influences are: building industry analysis, financial analysis and most of all econometric analysis. First, a survey on the building industry in the Czech Republic will be obtained, and then a survey on the financial situation of individual companies. The main aim of this thesis will be a construction of appropriate econometric models for each company. Furthermore, through the statistic tests it will be verified whether these models meet all the classical assumptions of regression model. In case of any of the assumptions being disproved a correction will be proposed. Then the collective factors affecting the turnovers of construction companies will be identified. By analysing the time series a model of the evolution of their turnovers in 2000-2012 will be made, with subsequent prediction of future values.

Trh hráčů americké Národní fotbalové ligy: Jsou hráčům stále vypláceny mzdy odpovídající tržní situaci monopsonu?
Miškovský, Karel ; Hudík, Marek (advisor) ; Koubek, Ivo (referee)
The main goal of this thesis is to find out whether National football league players are, even 15 years after the birth of unrestricted free agency, still paid monopsonistic salaries or whether competition among NFL teams eliminated them. After a theoretical discussion, which will help to form expectations about the player market, models in line with the standard theory of labor compensation and with Becker's human capital theory are estimated. The part of the research following the standard theory focuses mainly on estimations of players' marginal revenue product and subsequently on comparison of their wages with their MRP. To do so, OLS regressions, as well as quantile regressions, are run. The part of the research following the human capital theory has a supporting role and is used to further confirm the previous findings. It is represented by OLS player salary estimation. The hypothesis that players under a full control of their teams are still paid salaries below their MRP cannot be rejected, thus confirming a presence of monopsonistic salaries. A significant effect of free agency status on player salaries is also found. Exclusive rights players are paid significantly lower salaries than all free agents, while restricted free agents are paid significantly lower salaries than unrestricted free agents. Superstar players are found to have salaries in excess of their MRP regardless of their free agency status.

How non-price factors affect the attendance of the Museum of Eastern Bohemia in Hradec Králové?
Lukas, Jan ; Rotschedl, Jiří (advisor) ; Chytil, Zdeněk (referee)
This thesis analyses non-price factors influencing the attendance of the Museum of Eastern Bohemia in Hradec Králové. On the basis of daily data, from 05/2011 to 05/2013, using average daily temperature, total daily precipitation, marketing, work and school holidays and individual months, three models were construed -- a model of total attendance, attendance of adults and attendance of children and students. Research has proven expected negative influence of temperature through all three models. Furthermore, there was a strong positive influence of school and work holidays. The results have also shown almost 50% increase of student attendance during holidays. Similarly, attendance of adults increases even more during non-working days. Marketing was studied in different ways but its statistically relevant influence has been proved only in the groups of children and students. Their attendance increases by quarter during campaigns.

Econometric Analysis of the Main Determinants of Austrian Foreign Trade
Davidová, Lucie ; Sedláček, Jiří (advisor) ; Chrobok, Viktor (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the main determinants of Austrian imports by estimating the import function. The analysis of the data from 1995--2011 implies great openness of the economy, strong orientation at machinery industry, Germany (40 %) and other EU-countries (other 35 %). I have employed a linear log-log model estimated by OLS. Consequently, I have obtained a triple of estimated import functions -- a general one, one for year 2011 in particular, and the last one for the top ten Austrian importers. There is a significant positive impact of partner's GDP (0.81--1.42), common language (1.1--2.3) and contiguity (0.4--2.7). On contrary, we observe an inverse relationship of imports with distance (0.9--1.1) and trade barriers (0.3--0.8). Considering similarities between Austrian and Czech economies, we can deduct similar implications for economic and trade policies.
