Nádvorníková, Iva ; Koblovský, Petr (advisor) ; Potužák, Pavel (referee)
Bachelor thesis focuses on so called "taxes from fat" and consequences of their application on some of the unhealthy and often consumed food in the Czech Republic. Because this tax is regressive, its main purpose should be the direct decrease of food consumption, not increase of national budget income. Therefore on some of the chosen products is calculated demand elasticity by use of regresive models and derived estimated impact of price increase for each of the products. Results indicate, that demand for all of the considered products in the Czech republic is not elastic and implementation of taxes from fat would have little impact on the reduction of unhealthy food consumption and almost no effect on decrease of obesity.

This work focuses on and analysis of the above mentioned systems and comparison of their effectiveness with regard to their efficiency and success when attempting to protect creditors' rights. The aim of the mentioned comparison is to prove a debt collection efficiency increase caused by an entry of private entities into the market (alternative ways of dispute resolution).
