Hána, David ; Blažek, Jiří (advisor) ; Květoň, Viktor (referee) ; Toth, Petr (referee)
The state plays a prominent role in the process of regional development. State interventions might bring radical influences into the entire socioeconomic system, to which the other actors of regional development have to adapt. Importantly, the state administrates a large amount of funds, creates large numbers of jobs, and it is led by "elites" which might influence the other people's opinions. The need for studying of the role of the state and the expenditure side of its budget for an understanding of the mechanisms of regional development is recognized by many authors. However, deep discussions of the function of the state could be hardly found in regional development theories. The aim of this dissertation thesis is to contribute to understanding of the role of the state as one of major actors in regional development via investigation of the regional impacts of public support programs. To provide concrete scrutiny, parliamentary grants (so-called "pork barrel") were depicted through which deputies annually sent large sums of money from the state budget during its approval process in the Chamber of Deputies on projects with local impact. The topic of parliamentary grants is a traditional topic for international studies within the concept of the so-called pork barrel politics, which includes all activities...

Jílek, Petr ; Toth, Petr (advisor) ; Peková, Jitka (referee) ; Luňák, Josef (referee)
Abstract Dissertation deals with theoretical concepts and providing the basis for the use of forms of financing and acquisition of public goods and services through partnerships between the public and private sectors, as well as PPP (Public Private Partnership). Suitability PPP project in this work is assessed primarily in terms of developing a new methodology for evaluating projects. The theoretical part of the thesis aims to clarify the issue of PPPs in the context of regional and local regional development theories, principles and mechanisms of PPP legislative and institutional backing of the PPP, clarify the distinction between PPP and public procurement procedures and current assessment of PPP projects. The practical part focuses on the development of a methodology using a selection of qualitative and quantitative methods for evaluating investments and to form a complex output that will clearly and distinctly testify about the appropriateness of using the PPP method. For this purpose it is used in work processes, which are normally used for business valuation-generators values, property valuation, yield valuation, valuation based on market analysis, combining technologies and their incorporation / recast in the current assessment methodology, which is based on a Public Sector Comparator and determinants of value for money

The role of municipalities in the indebtedness of the public sector
Maixnerová, Markéta ; Toth, Petr (advisor) ; Michalička, David (referee)
This thesis focuses on the issue of indebtedness of Czech municipalities and their role in the total public debt. The first part represents the theoretical basis and legislation, which includes defining key terms. The practical part is focused on analyzing the evolution of indebtedness of local governments and of other levels of the public sector. The analysis was made on the basis of compiled time series of the debt for the period 1994-2014. The indebtedness of municipalities and counties had a growing trend during the reported period. In recent years, municipal debt, unlike regional, is stable. The share on debt of municipalities and regions is the size of the public debt is not significant. The largest share of the debt is government debt, which constantly grows from the begging of the period. Part of this work is to compare two methods of evaluating municipal debt, namely debt service and SIMU. Five selected municipalities were compiled both types of indicators for the period 2010-2014. Based on this comparison it was shown to have better presentation of the indicators SIMU than debt service. The thesis seeks to comprehensively evaluate the development of each level of indebtedness of the public sector in order to show, what proportion represents Czech municipalities.

Žilík, Lukáš ; Toth, Petr (advisor) ; Balcarová, Tereza (referee)
Czech participation in the drawing from Structural Funds of the European Union brings with it the question of efficient use of these resources. The number of projects financed by European funds represents a significant part of the investment made in our country. Additionally, the pressure arising from the comparison of the effectiveness of private projects leads to the question of how to avoid unnecessary wastage. Authorities, considering redistribution, should have full-featured documents that are necessary foundations for proper negotiations. These documents also include a professionally processed cost-benefit analysis (aka CBA). The aim of this thesis is to apply theoretical knowledge on selected issues CBA assessing the effectiveness of public investment in a particular project the Czech Republic. The theoretical part will briefly summarizes current knowledge concerning the effectiveness of public investment, the methods used in their assessment, followed by description of the basic assumptions of CBA and propose a method of processing. In the practical part the project will be primarily introduced and then analyzed subsequent application of the design process with a focus on selected issues of investment efficiency evaluation. The ultimate result of the work should be high-quality data to investigate the appropriateness of the use of this method and the CBA based on data identifying effective or vice versa inefficient use of public funds.
