Műller, Jan ; Chalupníček, Pavel (advisor) ; Doležalová, Antonie (referee)
This diploma thesis researches model of economic man, its historical background, and also modern critics of this concept and alternative approach to economic man, especially in behavioral economics. Human (im)perfection leads to the discussion about a range of liberty man should get eventually to which extent should a man be led by paternalism. Therefore this thesis introduces and tests concept of libertarian paternalism which is applied to drug issues. The thesis demonstrates that model of economic man is in many ways too simplified and insufficient. Thus, extention of this model with findings of psychology, biology and other sciences seems beneficial. Libertarian paternalism, despite few shortcomings, shows potential to be realisable and viable in certain situations.

Economy of procrastination
Hon, Jakub ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Doležalová, Antonie (referee)
The size and intensity of procrastination is influenced by various factors including local environment.The conditions set for elaborating homework, that were exactly the same for both high school and university students, brought up different results. These results were based on an experiment (N=111), which was replicated from a study (D. Ariely and K. Wertenbroch, 2002). The best results achieved were from high school students while put under pressure by submitting more homework on a specific date. This fact varied significantly from university students. Also there is a positive influence of age and maturing on the women's final grade. The precondition for divergent influence of different teacher's gender on men and women was not disproved.

Analysis of consumption tax development in the Czech republic during the period 1993 - 2011
Ježek, Jakub ; Zeman, Karel (advisor) ; Doležalová, Antonie (referee)
Analysis of consumption tax development in the Czech republic during period 1993 -- 2011 stresses two important turning points which influenced the legal framework of consumption taxes. The adoption of the law no. 587/1992 Sb. set the consumption tax legislation. The law distributed subject of taxation by its characteristics into several categories: mineral oils, ethyl alcohol, beer, wine and its intermediates. Taxation was defined for each category. It was the first step to the integration of the czech consumption tax legal framework to European union legislation. The second turning point was adoption of the law no. 353/2003 Sb. which adjusted consumption tax legal framework because of Czech republic accession to the EU. The entire tax administration was transferred to Custom office, which caused higher tax collection effiency and restraint of the tax evasion. Furthermore consumption tax rate of mineral oils and tobacco products increased. The current consumption tax of ethyl alcohol, beer and wine is severalfold exceeded minimum rates set by EU. The positive dependence of the tax revenue on the level of consumption tax rate in the Czech republic was proved by the emperical evidence. In years 2008 and 2009 was registered significant decrease, however it was caused by the recent economic crisis.
