The prohibition of gambling in Czech cities and their economic efficiency since 2010
Lišková, Magdaléna ; Skopeček, Jan (advisor) ; Zeman, Martin (referee)
The bachelor thesis is about an evaluation of economic efficiency of prohibition of gambling in selected Czech cities since 2010. The theoretical part contains a definition of basic terms, a chapter about social costs and it also deals with a prohibition and the shadow economy. The practical part contains chapters about current legislation, about gambling market in the Czech Republic, next chapter is about methodology and at the end of this part there is the evaluation of economic efficiency. This chapter deals with an explanation why we can call the prohibition inefficient. It is also a resume of the thesis which is back up an argument of progress of total social costs and total revenues. The bachelor thesis, in spite of other Czech papers, works with presumption that the social costs are produced by pathological gamblers and it deals just with the original social costs. That is the reason why the thesis provides an original quantification of the social costs and new view on problems which are connected with regulation of gambling.

Analysis of influence of real exchange rate on bilateral trade balance between the Czech Republic and Germany
Dvouletý, Ondřej ; Říhová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Skopeček, Jan (referee)
Study analyses the influence of the real exchange rate on the real trade balance between the Czech Republic and Germany, using quarterly data for the period 2000 -- 2014. Previous empirical studies are summarized and their method is used for this analysis. Data are multiplied by consumer price index to achieve real variables and then transformed into natural logarithms. Used variables are trade balance, export, gross domestic products of the Czech Republic and Germany and dummy variables representing economic crisis during the years 2008 -- 2010 and monetary intervention of the Czech National Bank in autumn 2013. All variables were tested for stationarity and were found to be non-stationary, fortunately cointegration among variables was proved. Results failed to prove existence of J-curve concept. Results indicate, that in the short run after depreciation the real trade balance increases, but after that decreases. Economic crisis during the years 2008 -- 2010 led to decrease of the real trade balance. Intervention of the Czech National Bank did not lead in the short run to a decrease of the real trade balance. Granger causality test between the real export, the real trade balance and the real exchange rate did not prove any causal relationships.

VYBRANÉ ASPEKTY VSTUPU ČR DO EVROPSKÉ MĚNOVÉ UNIE
Skopeček, Jan ; Janáček, Kamil (advisor)
Introduced graduation thesis engaged in chosen implications on joining the euro area by the Czech Republic. The main target is to find the response for question: How much contributive is to enter the European Monetary Union (EMU)? The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first one includes historical and political development of European monetary integration, institutional effectiveness and economic development analysis of EMU. Following section considers the topic of EMU as a optimum currency area – objective conditions are also tested by way of Czech Republic example. Here I came to the conclusion that conditions of optimum currency area are not satisfied in many respects. Chapter number three describes the topic of nominal convergence, chapter number four describes the topic of real and price level convergence. Czech Republic is being characterized by low price level whose stepwise fitting is expected to become more complicated by virtue of using common monetary policy. Cost-benefit analysis of joining EMU is mentioned in last chapter. The most significant cost is accounted a loss of independent monetary policy, on the other hand the stable exchange rate is believed to be the most considerable benefit. The recommendation stating that Czech Republic is advised to join EMU later date is mentioned in final conclusion.

Analysis of factors affecting young people in the elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic
Pokorný, Tomáš ; Hudík, Marek (advisor) ; Skopeček, Jan (referee)
This thesis analyzes the factors that influence decisions of young people in elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic. Specifically, it focuses on the citizens of the Czech Republic citizens aged 18 to 28 years. The research is carried out in elections to the House of Commons in 2010. As shown by earlier studies from the United States or European countries (Abramson, 1974; Knoke 1974; Baker, 1978; Inglehart, Norris 1999; Anderson, 2000; C. Baslevent H. Kirmanoglu 2008), for young people are dominant other factors than for older generations in public elections. My goal is to detect the influence of psychological, social and political determinants of the electoral vote and determine what the characteristics of young leftist and rightist voters are. Furthermore this thesis validates some hypotheses, based on various studies (Knoke 1974, Abramson 1974, Thorisdottir et al. 2007). As a method of analyzing the dependence between explained variable and explanatory variables I used multinominal logistic regression to testing hypotheses investigating the influence of parents political orientation, household earnings, and traditionalism to party election. Null hypotheses expecting no influence of these variables were rejected. Alternative hypotheses were confirmed only in certain categories of hypotheses investigating parents political orientation influence to party election.

Does corruption cause public finance deficit?
Turko, Dominik ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Skopeček, Jan (referee)
With the use of panel data from the year 2005 to 2009 tracking the 27 EU member countries, it is tested; wheather corruption causes public finance deficits. The indicator control of corruption, which is a part of WGI (World Governance Indicators) is used as the main measure of corruption-level. This rate is annually compiled by the World Bank organization. Corruption effects deficit through lower tax revenues. Lower tax revenues are the consequence of lower rate of growth. The second main transmission channel between corruption and deficit is the higher public expenditures, which are the result of inefficiency of public investment (Kaufmann, 2010). With the help of the fixed-effects model the introductory hypothesis has been verifyed. Improvement of the measure control of corruption by one unit leads to the reduction of the public finance deficit as the share of GDP by about 4 pp. The hypothesis, that the size of government affects the deficit negatively has also been verified. The increase of the size of the government as the share of public expenditure of GDP of 1 pp causes the increase of deficit of 0,26 pp. The membership in EMU represents an encreace of deficit by 2 pp. First, the economic freedom reduces deficits of public finance, but later it has the opposite effect.

Anticorruption mechanism design
Kobrč, Marek ; Bartoň, Petr (advisor) ; Skopeček, Jan (referee)
This paper contains a design of an anticorruption measure. Person, which first reports a corruption it has committed will be freed of all charges and could keep all the yields he has already taken possession of. Everybody who has committed the corruption would have an incentive to report it. The corrupting people must therefore take cost to prevent this option which would lower their profit and therefore the occurrence of corruption as well. The measure also increases the chance of revealing the corruption. Were some conditions met, the corruption could be prevented beforehand. The measure could be used to reveal corruption which happened before the implementation of the measure.
