Potential impacts of increasing Chinese dominance in the electric vehicle industry
Čejchan, Jakub ; Semerák, Vilém (advisor) ; Veruete Villegas, Iñaki Alberto (referee)
This thesis aims to measure the potential impacts of the Chinese electric vehicle expansion on the automotive industry of the European union. Firstly it intro- duces the industry of electric vehicles, its supply chain and the development on the global scene, specifically in China and Europe. The potential effects are further estimated using the Global extraction method as a modification of the original Hypothetical extraction method in the input-output framework. It simulates the scenario in which automotive industry, represented by the sec- tor Motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, of all member countries of the European Union are to be replaced by the Chinese automotive industry. This method was applied on the OECD inter-country input-output tables (ICIO) in combination with FIGARO tables provided by Eurostat. The results are then presented in the total output measures and additional component representing the value spent on employees, estimating the most affected sectors and coun- tries in this area, connected with inter-sector linkages. Such estimations point out the industries and countries that could be endangered, in the case the transition to electric vehicles would result in Chinese dominance throughout the global automotive industry. Keywords Electric vehicles, motor vehicles,...

Čejchan, Jakub ; Bureš, Jan (advisor) ; Koubek, Jiří (referee)
The bachelor thesis "The Reform of the Electoral System of the Czech Republic 1998-2000" deals with the topic of electoral system change enacted in the framework of the ODS-ČSSD so-called "opposition agreement". The thesis focuses mainly on the aspect of electoral mechanism and the way how partial changes of this mechanism can influence overall outputs of the system. The first part of the thesis offers a basic characterization of proportional systems and explanation of important proportional system variables affecting final electoral outcomes. The second part concentrates on particular aspects of the electoral reform accepted within the opposition agreement. It describes circumstances leading to the decision of both ODS and ČSSD to change the electoral system. Also, it analyses the shape of the former electoral system and its changes which were subsequently performed. The last part centres on the constitutionality of the electoral reform and clarifies why the Constitutional Court ultimately declared it unconstitutional.
