Regulation and self-regulation in financial intermediation
Palusková, Jitka ; Ježek, Tomáš (advisor) ; van Koten, Silvester (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on the problems of regulation of financial intermediaries and reviews the contemporary situation in the financial market of the Czech Republic. In the introductory part subjects that can provide financial services and circumstances under which these services are possible are defined. The introduction also outlines the framework for controlling, its planned development, state institutions supervising this process and the up-to-date state of self-regulation by the financial intermediaries themselves. The main part of the thesis is devoted to contemporary key topics in the field (mis-selling, providing of misleading or incomplete information, reinsurance, promotion of excessive trading, low expertise, reward system etc.), supervision by the state and the attitude of financial intermediaries to these activities.. The aim of the thesis is to find a functional relationship between the set of rules defined by legislation and the internal self-regulatory system of the financial intermediaries.
Analysis of the impact of electricity generation from wind on investment activities of CEPS’s company, assessment of the impact of these investments on the Czech economy
Krchová, Eva ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; van Koten, Silvester (referee)
The aim of master thesis is to analyze the impact of electricity generation from wind on investment activities of CEPS's company, and also to assess the impact of these investments on the Czech economy. The work familiarizes readers with reasons for the development of the transmission system in the Czech Republic, with the concept of blackout and also with apparatus of assessing the impact of investment on the economy of the selected state -- input-output model analysis. The method used to obtain data for this work is based on the literature review, as well as expert advice on the input-output model, consultation with the experts in CEPS and the data provided by them. The theoretical part deals with Czech transmission system, and it is followed by the development of wind energy construction and the problems associated with it, with blackout and readiness of the Czech Republic to the possible failure in electricity supply. In the practical part, there are measures that are built in order to prevent the risk of blackouts in the Czech Republic, there is a more detailed examination of the Plan of development and rehabilitation of Czech transmission system, and there is also described the process of construction of analytical input-output apparatus for analyzing the impact of CEPS's development investments on the Czech economy, approximated by GDP.
Do emission trading schemes facilitate efficient abatement investments? An experimental study
van Koten, Silvester
The main policy objective of a cap-and-trade program is the cost-efficient abatement of pollutants or emissions. Whether a cap-and-trade program will realize cost-efficient abatement in practice is an open question. Earlier experiments on abatement-by-switching suggest that experimental participants make highly inefficient abatement choices and that allocation biases participants to over or under-abatement.
Abatement efficiency in experiments: learning and allocation effects
van Koten, Silvester
The main policy objective of a cap-and-trade program is the cost-efficient abatement of pollutants or emissions. Whether a cap-and-trade program will realize cost-efficient abatement in practice is an open question. Design issues may also be important for the effectiveness of cap-and-trade programs.
Structural versus behavioral remedies in the deregulation of electricity markets: an experimental investigation guided by theory and policy concerns
van Koten, Silvester ; Ortmann, A.
We try to better understand the comparative advantages of structural and behavioral remedies of deregulation in electricity markets, an eminent policy issue for which the experimental evidence is scant and problematic. Specifically, we investigate theoretically and experimentally the effects on competition of introducing a forward market — considered a behavioral remedy by the European Commission.
