Analysis of the 2024 state budget revenue in light of the 2019 pre-crisis year
Janský, Petr ; Kolář, Daniel
This analysis compares planned state budget revenues in 2024 with the state budget outcomes of 2019. It charts a period in which the Czech economy and public budgets have been heavily impacted by the consequences of several major crises (coronavirus, the invasion of Ukraine and the war, an energy crisis, and an inflationary wave) as well as by significant parametric changes in the Czech tax system. 2019 can be considered the last pre-crisis year and 2024 the first post-crisis year, so they correspond to 'normal times' more closely than the years in between. This analysis builds on a previous analysis of the state budget expenditure development between 2019 and 2024 and includes a brief synthesis of findings on revenues and expenditures.

Coulomb Interactions in Electron Beams
Jánský, Pavel ; Janík,, Ján (referee) ; Kolařík,, Robert (referee) ; Lencová, Bohumila (advisor)
The thesis deals with numerical simulations of a hairpin thermionic electron gun, an electron source of the electron-beam welding machine. Simulations showed that the space charge in the electron gun has a significant influence on the beam current and electron trajectories. Simulation outputs are in a sufficient agreement with the experimental measurements.

Characterization of Automotive High-Strength Steels Using an Electron Microscope
Báborský, Tomáš ; Jánský, Pavel (referee) ; Mikmeková, Šárka (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the determination of the structure of AHSS steels and offers solutions in the form of new observation methods with the aid of a scanning electron microscope using filtration of slow secondary electrons. The thesis describes electron filtration in order to display secondary electrons in a certain energy range which carry a surface information that is not normally visible. The advantages and benefits of such observation are clearly demonstrated.

Study of metals by low voltage SEM
Ligas, Aleš ; Jánský, Pavel (referee) ; Mikmeková, Šárka (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate the advantages of the scanning low energy electron microscopy (SLEEM) in the field of materials science. The SLEEM can be very effectively used for investigation of wide range of materials, such as steels, alloys, ceramics and thin films. Experimental part of this work was performed on the scanning electron microscope TESCAN VEGA TS 5310 equipped with cathode lens mode at Institute of Scientific Instruments of the ASCR, v.v.i..

Public Procurement and Budgeting of Municipalities
Šafářová, Kristýna ; Kalabiška, Roman (advisor) ; Janský, Petr (referee)
This thesis analyzes the spending behavior of municipalities regarding public contracts, mainly the relationship between municipal public procurement spending and fixed capital formation, using a unique panel dataset containing data on 3,404 Czech municipalities for the years 2011- 2022 made specifically for this purpose. The relationship was found significant and positive regardless of other municipalities' characteristics: size, regional affiliation, and political affiliation. Although the distribution of spending on public procurement during municipal election terms pointed to a certain degree of opportunistic spending in the years of elections, no definitive conclusion could be made for the subset of parties present both in the municipal and national government at the same time. It was also found that in most cases, the established national political parties ruling in municipalities are more likely to invest in all three main contract types (construction works, services, supplies) as opposed to having no contract when compared to independent candidates. A prediction of future short-term gross fixed capital formation was ruled out as unreliable using the dataset in question.

Analysis of the 2024 state budget expenditure in light of the 2019 pre-crisis year
Janský, Petr ; Kolář, Daniel
Our analysis compares the 2024 state budget proposal approved by the government with 2019 state budget results. The interim period includes two major events with a number of significant economic impacts - the coronavirus and Russia’s aggression in Ukraine. We compare the percentage increases in key state budget expenditures with the 40.6% increase in prices and the 33.9% increase in nominal gross domestic product (GDP) over the same period, 2019-2024. Comparison that takes inflation into account is indicative of the change in the real value of spending, while comparison accounting for GDP growth shows the change in the shares of spending in GDP.

The impact of Brexit on the activity of banks: 2013-2021 country by country reporting data
Hatalová, Lucia Mária ; Janský, Petr (advisor) ; Sivá, Soňa (referee)
The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union marks one of the most important events in recent history. The consequences of Brexit, particularly the loss of passporting rights in the services sector, have had severe adverse effects on British trade because it created barriers and challenges for British businesses to access the EU market and vice versa. This thesis aims to contribute to the existing literature on the impact of Brexit on financial ser- vices, specifically focusing on the banking sector. I use the country-by-country reporting data spanning from 2013 to 2021 to investigate the activity of 44 Eu- ropean banks. Using the turnover of the banks as a substitute for measuring banking activity, I estimate the gravity model employing the PPML and OLS estimators. The results indicate a negative effect of 24% on the turnover of British banks abroad relative to the domestic turnover. This suggests that the loss of pass- porting rights and the subsequent regulatory changes decreased the international operations of UK-based banks. In contrast, EU-based banks experienced 30% higher turnover in partner countries than domestically. 1

The determinants of motion picture box office performance in the Czech Republic
Usov, Artem ; Polák, Petr (advisor) ; Janský, Petr (referee)
This thesis examines factors influencing box office performance in the Czech Republic. With an original dataset of over 1400 observations spanning 2013- 2022, the thesis explores the impact of the following factors: country of origin, user reviews, production budget, star power, awards, and holiday releases. The ordinary least squares estimation method is used for the analysis. Findings reveal that movie performance is positively affected by Czech origin, user re- views, production budget, star power, and awards. This research contributes to understanding the Czech movie market and offers insights for policymakers, producers, and distributors. Further research opportunities include analyzing sequels' effects, marketing spending, and further clarification of the role of re- viewers.

Effect of Enhanced Financial Transparency on Foreign Aid Captured by Elites
Žalman, Jan ; Palanský, Miroslav (advisor) ; Janský, Petr (referee)
This thesis estimates the capture of foreign aid in developing countries, where elites divert the aid intended for economic growth and poverty reduction to offshore bank deposits in tax havens. Using publicly available data, we analyze the relationship between aid disbursements and offshore deposits and find that while the aid capture persists since 1990, the enhanced financial transparency has had a diminishing impact. We also investigate the role of portfolio invest- ment and corruption, emphasizing the importance of addressing these issues to ensure effective aid redistribution. Our findings suggest that the individu- als benefiting from the flow of funds to tax havens during aid disbursements are likely ruling elites, highlighting the need for greater transparency in aid distribution.
