Do More Able Individuals Have Fewer Children?
 Pokorná, Táňa ; Rieger, Pavel (advisor) ; Bartoň, Petr (referee)
The aim of this empirical analysis is to verify the hypothesis that more able individuals have fewer children. By abilities for the purposes of this study we meant the level of achieved education and wage. This study is inspired by the paper of M. Beenstock. Its theoretical framework is based primarily on the works of G. Becker. It is based on the assumption there is an inverse relationship between quantity and quality of children; quality means expenditures per child. For testing we use the so-called ordinary least squares method and the real data for the United States in 1992. We test the robustness of model which can be based on equations of different types and complexity. The paper also includes sub-hypothesis about influence of woman's education on number of her children. Results of the analysis confirm that education and the wage of individuals influence negatively the number of their children.

Wages and crime
 Podlenová, Marcela ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Hlaváč, Petr (referee)
A lot of papers on the relationship between crime and labor market focused on the link between crime and unemployment. The target of this paper is to explore the dependence of property crime rate on wages in all regions of the Czech Republic in 2005 -- 2009. I use data that comes from annual statistics of Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Labor. Property crime is the sum of thefts (including car theft), burglary and robbery. The result is that property crime rate rather depends on changes in wages. Falls in overall level of wages increases property crime rate. In this paper I estimate models with different wage measures, different deterrence effect measures and I examine the dependence of each part of property crime separately. Most dependent on the wages is car theft.
