Redistributive processes and consumption behaviour
ŠŤOVÍČKOVÁ, Lucie
The aim of this thesis is to assess how redistributive processes influence consumption behaviour. In the theoretical part of the thesis attention is paid to the definition of basic categories, especially the description of redistribution processes, the social system and theories of consumption. In the practical part of the thesis, the income inequality in the Czech Republic, the evolution of the composite tax quota and the extent of redistribution are first assessed. Attention is paid to the state budget, specifically tax revenues, social security contributions and transfer payments. Furthermore, the distribution of taxes and benefits is described in relation to the decile distribution of households according to the amount of net cash income per person. Attention is also focused on the structure of household income and expenditure. Using correlation and regression analysis, the impact of individual factors, especially social income, on household consumption expenditure is assessed. The last chapter is devoted to the theory of bounded rationality as introduced by Herbert Simon.

Trends in economic growth and inequality in southern Africa: A comparative analysis among the low income countries
Zico, Abel Joaquim
This study investigates and compares the trends of economic growth and income inequalities in five low income countries members of Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) for the period of 1990 to 2013. It also analyses the relationship between growth and inequalities in the studied countries. It is a quantitative and qualitative study and was used the descriptive, analytical, statistical and comparative methods. The descriptive analysis indicates that the entire five economies grew in different performances and they are not absolutely convergent, but is a relative convergence among some countries. However, the inequality level trend to decrease in these countries but in very small levels. The results using econometric models and Ordinary Last Square (OLS) estimator show that the factors affecting economic growth and inequalities are not all the same and do not react in the same way for all countries. It also found out that the relationship between growth and inequality is not mutual in all countries. Therefore, growth trend to reduce inequality in Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia, but trend to increase in Zimbabwe.
