Can suicide bombers be rationally acting people?
Tišl, Zdeněk ; Šťastný, Daniel (advisor) ; Bartoň, Petr (referee)
The paper deals with the phenomenon of suicide bombers. Terrorism is very serious problem of the modern world. Economics is the social science that studies human behaviour. So this science should be able to explain this extreme behaviour. The key goal of this paper is to describe the suicide attacks as rational action. The paper consists of two parts. The first part deals with the term rationality in economics and its alternative aproach. The second part is about suicide bombers. I have chosen islamic suicide bombers as a object of my work. The social profile of the suicide bombers is studied and the conection between education and wealth on the one hand and propensity to perpetrate the suicide attack on the other hand is discussed.

The Theory of Competition: Austrian and Neoclassical approach
Chmelík, Pavel ; Holman, Robert (advisor) ; Šťastný, Daniel (referee)
The paper compares Austrian and Neoclassical approach to the theory of competition. It finds an answer to the question, which of the two compared theories is more realistic. The comparison is based mainly on the approach to the role of competition in the formation of diverse market structures, on the view of the role of entrepreneur on the market and the role of market in the dispersion of information in the economy. The positions of the two schools to the above mentioned problems are very different and form the core of controversy between the two theories.

Below Zero: Economics of Negative Interest Rate
Stroukal, Dominik ; Šťastný, Daniel (advisor) ; Špecián, Petr (referee)
This paper discusses the issue of negative nominal interest rate. Consistent following of Taylor's rule may lead to recommendations to adjust the interest rate below its zero bound. Although the negative nominal interest rate is considered to be impossible, proposals that can make it possible are presented. Their common impact is raising the cost of holding money. It is proven that without a statutory anchor and enforcement this policy of raising the cost of holding money cannot work. Since the originary rate of interest cannot be negative, the whole concept of negative nominal interest rates is only an unconventional form of taxation.

Alternative work arrangements and their connection with discrimination against women on the labour market
Dušková, Karolína ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Šťastný, Daniel (referee)
This thesis deals with the alternative work arrangements in Europe, namely flexitime and part-time. The theoretical basis is built on the theory of preferences and takes into account household labour supply considering also household production. The aplication part compares and contrasts situation in corresponding European countries with special reference to identification the differences between men and women. As a next step, regression and correlation analysis is used in order to identify relationship between part-time ratio and other variables. It was found that there is no relationship between part-time ratio and gender wage gap. Furthermore, there is a statistically significant relationship between GDP per capita and women part-time ratio, which helps to explain the differences among corresponding countries.

Sobotková, Kateřina ; Šťastný, Daniel (advisor) ; Koubek, Ivo (referee)
1. The current work deals with an atypical question concerning the problem of the digital piracy (e.g. software, music, films): why do actually exist people who are non-pirates although the costs are nearly zero? 2. The first part of the work represents a brief summary of the basic findings from this area, including the definition of the piracy, its types and history. 3. The following part deals with the causes and consequences of the piracy, involving the psychological, social and tangible aspects which could contribute to the clarification of the "non-pirate" existence. 4. The third part of the present work focuses on the creation of a profile with typical features of a "non-pirate", particularly on the basis of the survey sampling. 5. The last chapter summarizes all the findings and tries to outline the solution of the issue.

Labour Theory of Value
Obdržálek, Jakub ; Šťastný, Daniel (advisor) ; Kadeřábková, Klára (referee)
This bachelor's thesis addresses the development of ideas, which resulted in formulation of the labour theory of value. In this vein chronologically presents individual personalities, to whom are concrete components of the theory ascribed and their reflexion in the literature. The main aim of the thesis is to point out Ibn Khaldun's contribution to the theory and the contribution of Benjamin Franklin, who pronounced the labour theory of value sooner than it's universally accepted autor David Ricardo. Finally the thesis dwells on the Karl Marx's labour theory of value as well and thus offers a self-contained perspective of genesis of the theory from the point of view of history of economic thought.
