Impact of tax rates on tax revenue for the state – modeling of Laffer curve
Šmejkal, Martin ; Soukup, Jindřich (advisor) ; Makovský, Petr (referee)
There are many recent studies which try to find the evidence of the Laffer curve in national economies or aggregated OECD data. In this Master Thesis I focus on testing of the primary linear relation of the corporate income tax rate and the corporate tax base, that I call herein adjusted Laffer curve. The adjusted Laffer curve is then transferred through the simplification into the ordinary Laffer curve. The linear regression analysis is performed on the OECD data of 34 countries across years 2000 to 2014. Firstly, the countries are split by the national tax system criteria, such as tax quota, tax revenue allocation or tax structure of revenues that I consider essential for further analysis. Based on the results of linear regression I can only find Laffer curve in set of countries that aim to collect tax revenues mainly from direct taxes. However, there are also other major findings, such as the fact that negative relation of the corporate income tax rate and the corporate tax base, can be found in countries with the higher tax quota, while not in those with the lower tax quota.

Selected aspects of the latest financial crisis
Vlček, Tomáš ; Pošta, Vít (advisor) ; Makovský, Petr (referee)
The thesis is dedicated to clarifying the origins and main causes of the economic crisis. In the first part I ilustrate the connection between the monetary policies of central banks and the changes in structure of the production and investments with the help of Austrian Business Cycle Theory. These theoretical assumptions are confronted with the empirical findings from USA throughout the 20th century. The second part discusses other factors leading to the crises, mainly focusing on the 2009 economic crises and various free market and state controlled factors. The thesis discusses these factors from the point of view of theoretical and empirical knowledge of economic science.

Kocholová, Soňa ; Pošta, Vít (advisor) ; Makovský, Petr (referee)
Bachelor thesis deals with the basics of portfolio theory and its applications, mathematical and graphical models in the theory of portfolio and, finally, an estimate of the specific efficient frontiers during the financial crisis. The aim of the work is to estimate, graphically illustrate and to compare the efficient frontier for specific states in the course of eight years. These sets of portfolios are composed of two assets and that is one risk and one risk-free asset. A result of this combination is an efficient frontier illustrated in a form of the capital market line and its slope given by so called risk premium. We will focus on the comparison in time for each state individually and at the same time each year separately between the states themselves. Finally, a specific example of portfolios with various share of risk and risk-free assets are compiled lying on the line of an efficient frontier.
