Stejskalová, Markéta ; Šustrová, Tereza (referee) ; Novotná, Veronika (advisor)
The main aim of this diploma thesis is to analyse visitation of the zoological garden in Brno and to make recommendations which could result in higher values of visitation. The major causes of the fluctuation in visitation are found out and the econometric model is created. Due to this model, we can predict the future values of the reference indicator. In order to determine the interdependence between Zoo Brno attendance and the number of guests accommodated in the South Moravian Region, the econometrics model of South Moravia Region visitation was created too. Based on the analysis of external and internal environment, recommendations which could positively influence Zoo Brno attractiveness and number of its visitors are suggested. All used methods of analysis and creating model are presented in the theoretical part of this diploma thesis.

Karhanová, Michala ; Pavelka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Breňová, Lubomíra (referee)
The thesis aims is to determine the impact of minimum wage on unemployment of men, women, and the overall unemployment rate in the Czech Republic and selected EU countries. The theoretical part will be discussed different theoretical concepts that deal with the economic impact of the minimum wage as well as empirical studies that examine the impact of the minimum wage on unemployment and the arguments for and against introducing a minimum wage. Subsequently, the thesis will deal with the historical and current development of minimum wages in various EU countries and international documents which affect the formation of the minimum wage. The last part will be based on an econometric model determining whether a minimum wage, growth rate of GDP and the share of the minimum wage to the median wage influence the unemployment of men, women, and the overall unemployment rate in the period 1995 to 2014 the Czech Republic, Luxembourg and Hungary.

It discusses the influence of individual factors such as size, number of rooms, floor, type of ownership, and so on. It focuses on three main hypotheses. The first is the floor impacts, which is proving to have a quadratic functional dependence. The second is a comparison of personal property with a cooperative and brick and panel construction. It turned out that the price difference between brick privately ownership and cooperative panel construction can be up to nearly 30 %. The last major hypothesis is the impact of time perspective between 2006 and 2013.

Is Jakub Kováč more employable than Gejza Žiga in the labor market in Eastern Slovakia?
Tóth, Michal ; Svoboda, Miroslav (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
This thesis explores discrimination of Gypsies in the labor market in Eastern Slovakia. Using the experimental method I observe the hypothesis about discrimination of this minority in the labor market. The experiment consists of sending fictitious resumes with typical Gypsy and typical Slovak names to job offers in various fields. The results show discrimination against Gypsy minority, when Slovak candidates received 57% more callbacks for an interview. The highest rate of discrimination was in the waitstaff jobs, where employees regulary come into the contact with customers. Using an econometric model I estimated, that the chances of a job candidate for an interview invitation are about 19% lower if his resume contains typical Gypsy name. Afterwards I sent a questionnaire examining attitudes and opinions of employers on discrimination against gypsies to 190 companies in Košice and Prešov Region. Of the 70 replies in 2 cases the company representative admitted, that Gypsy name in the resume disqualifies this applicant.

Econometric analysis of sales of toilet paper in Tesco Stores ČR a.s.
Záhorovský, Radek ; Sekničková, Jana (advisor) ; Dlouhá, Zuzana (referee)
The purpose of this work is to quantify the influences that affect the sales of selected products for toilet paper segment in the retail chain Tesco Czech Republic. The model is based on a long-term observation of the time series of sales and average prices for selected products. For the quantification is used an estimation of exponential function fot model which is subsequently verified. Parameter estimation is calculated by using the software EViews. The work compares the results of the model for different products and searching for the most effective way of promotion for each brand. The calculated parameters can be implemented for the planning of sales for toilet paper segment. The results show differences between branded and private toilet paper brand, that are caused by differences in the perception of quality by consumers.

Minimum wage in economic context
Kratochvíl, Martin ; Durdisová, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Krebs, Vojtěch (referee)
The thesis analyzes how minimum wage influences unemployment in the Czech Republic. Firstly, the economic theory is researched and the conclusion is that the Czech labour market is very similar to a monopsony market due to the low mobility of the workforce and the low rate of immigration. Another result is that the level of wages in developed economies does not depend on the productivity of the workforce anymore, so minimum wage laws have psychological impacts rather than economical. The following part of this thesis is dedicated to the comparison of labour market indicators between european countries. The last chapter investigates the main hypothesis with a dataset from the Czech Republic between 1993-2014 using the econometric model. A 1% increase of real minimum wage resulted in a 0.01% increase in the general unemployment rate and a 0.1% increase of unemployment among the young population. But if the minimum wage will be raised during the times of real GDP growth, influence on unemployment will be eliminated.

Financial analysis of European companies in electroenergetic industry
Sura, David ; Marek, Petr (advisor) ; Jakoubek, Jiří (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on providing complete characteristics of European electroenergetic industry by sample of 28 most important companies from 28 countries. Analyzing these companies, their financial results and relations to surroundings during terms from 2001 to 2010 is made by means of financial analysis, then output analysis and statistical analysis to prove relations between companies' financial results and macroeconomic and microeconomic factors. As a result of partial analyses there are several findings, of which the most interesting ones are following. Financial results were getting better during observating period, indebtedness was decreased in spite of low level of indebtedness at the beginning, however companies didn't show high profitability of their capital. Companies from southeastern part of Europe had worse results than the others. By statistical analysis there wasn't observed significant influence of prices of input commodities necessary for electricity production. On the other side the positive connection between domestic product with price index and development of these companies was found significant. During this period the decrease of portion of these companies in electricity production in domestic economies was found with average partial privatization.

Effect of excise tax on consumption of cigarette in UK
Tesař, Tomáš ; Dočkal, Dalibor (advisor) ; Vebrová, Ludmila (referee)
The European Union has been solving for years the problem of huge number of smokers among European population. The EU is creating laws banning advertising of tobacco products and smoking in public places. United Kingdom is struggling against consumption of cigarettes through ratifying these laws since late nineties, together with another policy of increasing taxes and informative campaigns. In this thesis I am describing several econometric approaches in this paper in order to find how big is the effect of excise tax on consumption of cigarette in past 15 years. In the second model I included other variables such as ban of advertisement, expenditures on treatment of addicts, employment, GDP, population. The results show that the most significant variables are the ban of advertisement, the ban of smoking and the employment.
