Population Characteristics of Voters: Evidence from the Czech Parliamentary Election
Černý, Jakub ; Janský, Petr (advisor) ; Želinský, Tomáš (referee)
In 2017, nine political parties were elected into the Czech Parliament, which is the greatest number in the history of the country. This thesis analyses the voter turnout and results of particular parties, using aggregated data on the municipal level. The goal is to find a spectrum of variables that would un- cover connections between the population characteristics of voters and their decisions to vote and to choose a political party. The method of weighted least squares is used for estimation and the results are tested for the presence of spa- tial autocorrelation. Subsequently, a spatial error model is used for the same analysis in order to observe spatial effects in the voting results and provide a comparison between the methods. There is found a significant negative con- nection between the voter turnout and the share of people facing distraints, unemployment, and the share of people with no education. Concerning the election results, the parties ANO, SPD, and KSCM receive greater support in municipalities with greater unemployment and lower shares of businessmen and people with university education. On the other hand, the parties ODS, Pirati, and TOP 09 evince exactly the opposite trends in these explanatory variables.

Tkadlečková, Dorothea ; Aslan, Emil (advisor) ; Kubát, Michal (referee)
This bachelor thesis concerns the causes of the change in the outcome of the Turkish parliamentary election in November 2015. First, the outcomes of the June and November parliamentary elections are compared, and on these grounds the shift of the MHP and HDP voters towards AKP is evaluated. The results of the autumn election are then appraised through analysis of the inter-election period's events and the strategic steps taken by AKP. The thesis comes to the conclusion that the change in the November parliamentary election was connected to the events in the inter-election period, particularly the transformation of the internal security situation in Turkey and the parties' inability to agree upon the building of a governmental coalition. The shift in the November parliamentary election was also related to the strategic steps made by AKP to change the candidates on the parties' electoral lists.
