Problém pána a správce v teorii diskriminace
Froňková, Pavlína ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Nikolovová, Pavla (referee)
Becker's discrimination theory predicted that the discrimination by employers on competitive markets should cease to exist. However, in past decades, it was shown that discrimination on the labour market is a prevalent phenomenon. In this thesis I analyse what is the impact of agency problem on the theory of discrimination. I show that when an agent (in the thesis called 'agent employer') is deciding whether to employ or not to employ a worker, his motivation is different compared to principal's. The outcome of the analysis is such that under certain assumptions, the agent employer with non-zero taste for discrimination will always choose to discriminate.
What are the determinants of ratio of free riders in public transportation?
Froňková, Pavlína ; Lahvička, Jiří (advisor) ; Koubek, Ivo (referee)
This paper presents a model that examines determinants of ratio of free riders in public transportation in the Czech Republic. The dataset consists of annual data from four cities over the time period of 11 years. The results show that 1% rise in the price of the ticket leads to 0,15% rise in the ratio of free riders. Also 1% rise in the leads to 0,25% decrease in the ratio of free riders. Despite the fact that the other two assumed determinants -- wage and the number of ticket inspectors -- are not statistically significant, I suppose it is mainly because of the short time period I am working with and I assume that those two variables are also important factors affecting ratio of free riders in public transportation.
