Economic analysis of labour market disrimination
Brčák, Ondřej ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Chytilová, Helena (referee)
The aim of this academic paper is to analyse the possible presence of discrimination against women in the job market. The analysis attempts to endogenous the discrimation section within the model. That is the essential difference in regard to other papers on this topic as these ascribe the influence of discrimination to the unexplained gender wage gap. The basic thought of this model is the idea, that if dicrimination against women is present in the job market, then it must exhibit the signs of a normal good. An examined characterisitc is the correlation of the wage gap, taken as a good, and extra variables as pensions. Investigation of possible correlation is done according to the linear regression analysis. The regression results are not satisfactory over long time periods as there are many variables that affect the outcome that the model does not consider. More precise results were achieved by means of testing individual workplaces, where especially the regression conducted with available data from analytic management occupations suggests that discrimination against women may be present

Are the government subsidies to agriculture actualy in the interest of consumers?
Mahdalíčková, Lenka ; Hudík, Marek (advisor) ; Svoboda, Miroslav (referee)
This bachelor's thesis investigates an influence of agricultural grants over the eating habit of Czech consumer. Increasing world-wide trend of overweighted people is very obvious also in Czech republic. This thesis therefore tries to discover, whether there has been a correlation between agricultural production and structure of the consumers diet. Although considerable dependence of agricultural production on grants was proved, it can't be said that the grants themselves are primary cause of the wrong eating habits. At the close of the thesis is proven that a demand after foodstuff is non-elastic, consumer's preferences can be thus affected by grant policy only slightly.

Efficiency analysis of E-procurement
Říhová, Kristýna ; Pavel, Jan (advisor) ; Vítek, Leoš (referee)
This bacelor thesis is focused on e-procurement issue. Substantively, the work can be devided into two parts. The first one is related to the effective legislative, which is analyzed from the perspective of both, national and european force documents. In doing so, it describes main features and insufficiencies. It also refers to some other related documents, especially the National plan for Introduction of Electronic Public Procurement. The second part is then devoted to regression analysis of dependency of public contract's price and the method of procurement, meaning wheather there are used or not used electronic tools. The main reason for this analysis is mentioning of negative correlation between those two variables across the related documents.

Analysis of relation between number of participants and final price of public contracts - furniture supplies
Fišer, Daniel ; Pavel, Jan (advisor) ; Blažek, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on influences effecting final price of public contracts in comparision with assumed value. Theoretical part summarizes already existing works on similar topic from different sectors and countries. Subsequent empirical part applies methods of regression analysis on data from sector of furniture supplies in Czech Republic in years 2006 -- 2009. Endogenous variable is ratio of final price and assumed value. Exogenous variables are mainly number of participants, type of contracting method, significance of price as contracting criterion and assumed value. Secondary analysis focuses on influences effecting number of participants. This bachelor thesis is also trying to compare issues of empirical studies with issues published in already existing works and propose steps, which could make Czech public procurement cheaper.

Analysis of the determinants that influence the number of children which are placed in institutes for infants and homes for children up to 3 years of age
Junková, Petra ; Bolcha, Peter (advisor) ; Janíčko, Martin (referee)
This thesis analyses the possible existence of a relation between chosen determinants and number of children which are placed in institutes for infants and homes for children up to 3 years of age for social reasons in the Czech Republic during the period 1993 -- 2008. First part is focused on theory of the family by Gary S. Becker. It evaluates each part of the decision making process scheme and analyses the final choice of placing a child in the institutional care. In the empirical part of the thesis four determinants are selected based on the laid out theoretical ground and other related studies. These determinants which are the focal point of the empirical analysis are: registered unemployment, real household income, state social support benefits and number of women in prison. Regression analysis and analysis of the placement of children discharged from institutional care for children up to 3 years of age are the main methods of examination. Based on the conclusions of the examination there are possible measures and actions suggested, that can be taken in order to improve the state of institutional care.

Influence of a competition on the price of the procurement in IT area.
Novotný, Tomáš ; Pavel, Jan (advisor) ; Vítek, Leoš (referee)
This thesis deals with the public procurements of IT and observes the market, as defined in the category "computer and related services". The first part assesses the development of the market which is consecutively assessed from the perspective of the three largest players in this field. In the following theoretical part in the introduction deals with an outline of the changes which were caused by novelization of the Law on Public Procurement and continues as an analysis of the procurement process. In the last practical part with the help of regression analysis this thesis explores influences on number of bidders and influences on final price in comparison with the estimated price.

Convergence of European economies in the context of global inequality
Kučerová, Michaela ; Čermáková, Klára (advisor) ; Kubíček, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the convergence of European economies in the context of the deepening global inequality in the world. The theoretical part discusses the concept of convergence and the basic theories of economic growth, explaining the convergence of economies to their steady state. This part also deals with global inequality. Different types of inequalities and methods of measurement are identified, with focus on external inequality measured by GDP per capita in purchasing power parity. The analytical part examines the development of gross domestic product of the analyzed economies. The regression analysis of beta convergence shows that the economies converge and that the inequality between them is decreasing. One part of the analytical section also clarifies the relationship between long-term growth and its determinants. The section is concluded with the regression analysis of dependence between the long-term growth and selected determinants. The analysis shows that the statistically significant main factors contributing to long-term growth in the analyzed economies are the level of investment, openness of the economy, and government capital expenditures. Foreign direct investment inflows are also an important determinant, but not statistically significant. On the other hand, long-term economic growth is negatively influenced by the rate of population growth.

Analysis of chosen factors influencing the decision about educational level in the Czech Republic
Vaňková, Radka ; Bolcha, Peter (advisor) ; Bydžovský, Jiří (referee)
The graduates of universities in most cases will have better future than the graduates of lower levels of education not only in terms of higher wages, but also social status in broader sense. In spite of this not all graduates of secondary education choose to continue in tertiary education. That is why this bachelor work deals with chosen factors, that could have the impact on the individual's choice about tertiary educational level. Theoretical part mainly stands upon the publications and papers of Gary S. Becker and Jacob Mincer, on the human capital analysis and also on the documents, annual reports and data of OECD and Czech Statistical Office. For purposes of empirical check we use the data from the Czech Republic. To answer our question we use the method of regression analysis and the test of hypothesis about equality of two mean values. The goal of this paper was to find out if and how the chosen variables influence the individual's decision to graduate the tertiary education mentioned above, and to interpret measured outcomes in the context of the relevant theories. In the Czech Republic setting we have not found evidence that exogenous variables have significant impact on endogenous variable (even thought in some foreign papers this impact was evidence). However some outcomes led to interesting findings and showed possible factors entering to human decisions.
