Competition in the pharmaceutical market after patent expiry
Polívka, Martin ; Koubek, Ivo (advisor) ; Čermáková, Klára (referee)
The bachelor thesis examines the impact of generic drug intake on the pharmaceutical market after the expiry of the original patent patent. First, it focuses on the immediate response of the original drug producer after generic entry and then attempts to estimate how the number of generic substitutes on the market, affects the cost of this drug. Based on the estimated econometric model, a higher number of generic drugs leads to a lower cost of the original drug. However, the main finding is that the generic competition paradox, the paradox where the original drug increases the price after the generic entry, may not be valid in more regulated markets like the Czech one, and therefore broader adoption of generic drugs not only leads to price reductions of these new drugs but leads to lower prices for original medicines as well.

Strategy of lifelong education of State Forestry Administration authorities
Polívka, Martin ; Trojan, Václav (advisor) ; Šafránková, Jana Marie (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to formulate a strategy for lifelong education of the state forest administration authorities' workers. The Ministry of Agriculture runs the education in the state and public administration on the basis of the Education Conception of the Ministry of Agriculture for the years of 2015-2020. This conception outlines education of state and public administration workers with departmental specialization. It determines the basic frame of lifelong education of all workers with departmental specialization. Yet there is no detailed strategy for particular domains of the department which would respond to real needs in practice. The strategy proposed in this thesis focuses on state forest administration workers at municipalities and regional offices. It is based on results of previous research which surveys the situation of state forest administration workers from the point of view of their work performance. Our research, which makes part of this thesis, is focused on their vocational lifelong education and surveys their needs concerning work performance and preferred forms and tools of further special education. This research serves for formulation of educational strategy and represents an analysis of needs which should be repeated at certain intervals. Regarding the context...

Polívka, Martin ; Černá, Iveta (advisor) ; Kalínská, Emílie (referee)
The thesis examines the impact of incoming foreign direct investment on the economy of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland between 1993 and 2007 through the prism of three macroeconomic indicators: the gross domestic product, the rate of unemployment and exports. The thesis is structured into four chapters. In the first chapter, the term FDI is defined and categorized. The second chapter describes thoroughly direct and indirect impacts of FDI on the GDP, the rate of unemployment and exports of the host economy. The third chapter offers an analysis of FDI flowing into the Central Eastern European region and the four countries in question after 1989. A special emphasis is put on economic policy towards FDI, the sectors and regions which attracted it the most. The fourth chapter examines the impact of FDI on the above-mentioned three macroeconomic indicators in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland using a simple linear regression. The chapter closes with a few thoughts on the impacts of FDI in the long-run, especially taking into account the sectors foreign investors preferred the most in CEE.
