Impact of the FTA between EU and South Korea on the Czech Republic
Maderová, Karolína ; Semerák, Vilém (advisor) ; Hayat, Arshad (referee)
In this thesis we study the effect of Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between European Union and South Korea, especially on the Czech Republic. To do so, we use gravity model. We specify three different gravity equations, each with a different set of fixed effects, and apply two estimation methods on them: Fixed Effects and Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood. Apart from this, we also use traditional indicators (Herfindahl and RCA indices) to assess the changes in trade. The results of the gravity model estimations suggest that the FTA did not have a significant impact on the bilateral trade. However, trade diversification analysis using the Herfindahl index and comparative advantage analysis using the RCA index both indicate that the bilateral trade between the Czech Republic and South Korea improved with the FTA in place.

Corruption Distance and Foreign Direct Investment: Evidence from European Transition Economies
Yu, Bin ; Paulus, Michal (advisor) ; Bruno, Randolph Luca (referee) ; Semerák, Vilém (referee)
This dissertation builds on Cezar and Escobar's (2015) study of the relationship between institutional distance and foreign direct investment (FDI), but focuses instead on the nexus between corruption distance and FDI. Along the lines of their study, this dissertation uses a two-stage gravity model derived from the framework of heterogeneous firms to empirically estimate the impact of corruption distance on the inward and outward FDI of European transition economies. This dissertation contributes to the literature in several aspects. First, it proposes a new method for measuring corruption distance, considering the importance of firms' previous experience to the development of necessary skills for navigating a foreign business environment. Second, the empirical study distinguished the impact of corruption distance on the extensive and intensive margin by using a rich dataset with three different corruption indices, which thereby differs from most previous studies on this topic. This is also one of the few papers that specifically study this topic in the context of European transition economies. The results show that both conventional and adjusted corruption distance based on the control-of-corruption index only reduces the extensive margin of transition economies' FDI; and that the magnitude of...

Obchodné vzťahy medzi Indiou a EÚ
Sirovecová, Kristína
Sirovecová, K. Trade relations between India and EU. Bachelor thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2017. Bachelor thesis deals with the main aspects of bilateral trade between India and EU. The paper analysed the development of their trade with regard to mutual agreements, as well as significant trade barriers. The gravity model regression analysis is an assessment of their impact on Indian imports of individual EU countries.

Netarifní omezení obchodu mezi ČR a USA
Chalupníková, Kristina
Chalupníková, K. Non-tariff barriers to trade between CZ and USA. Bachelor thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2017. Bachelor thesis deals with the problem of non-tariff barriers between the Czech Republic and the USA. The aim of this thesis is to characterize the barriers to trade and evaluate their impact on mutual trade of these two countries. Regression analysis explains here the impact of non-tariff restrictions and other variables on export from the Czech Republic to the USA.

Dynamika zahraničního obchodu Slovenské republiky se státy EU
Havlíčková, Martina
HAVLÍČKOVÁ, M., Dynamics of the comparative advantages in Slovak exports com-pared to the European Union. Diploma thesis. Brno: Mendel University in Brno. 2017. The thesis deals with the evaluation of the development of Slovak exports in rela-tion to the changes that occurred after theaccession of the Slovac Republic to the EU or as a result of the crisis in 2008 and 2009 The data analysed in this thesis come from the website of the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic and Eurostat. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the dynamics of comparative advantages of the Slovak economy in terms of export some groups of products according to the classification SITC1 compared to the countries of the European Union using gravity model and regression analysis.

Determinanty zahraničního obchodu České republiky se zeměmi OECD
Vaněk, Tomáš
The diploma thesis is devoted to determining factors influencing the intensity of two-way trade between the Czech Republic and other member countries of the OECD. In order to fulfil this objective, a model based on principles of the so called gravity equation is constructed. Using a dataset of 35 cross-sectional units (repre-senting the 35 member states of the OECD), observed during the 2007–2016 pe-riod, the impact of the economically relevant variables on the volume of Czech export and import is estimated. Apart from the usual panel data analysis, the vari-ability of the regression parametres within the given time time period is also ex-amined, using cross-sectional approach. Obtained results, among other things, suggest that the impact of the selected explanatory variables on Czech export and import can be considered rather symmetrical.

Dopad obchodních bariér na obchod mezi ČR a Čínou
Kučerková, Michaela
The aim of this diploma thesis is to identify the impact of tariff barriers in individual sectors of bilateral trade between Czech Republic and China. For this purpose, bilateral trade between countries is analysed using panel data analysis. The model results confirm the claim of the receding force of duty in favour of increasing the importance the impact of non-tariff barriers on trade.

The Impact of the EU-South Korea Free Trade Agreement on EU's Exports
Czakojová, Kristýna ; Polák, Petr (advisor) ; Vacek, Pavel (referee)
1 Abstract To support exports, the European Union (EU) and South Korea concluded the EU-South Korea free trade agreement (FTA) in 2010. An objective of the FTA was to reduce or remove barriers to international trade. This thesis examines the impact of the FTA on EU's exports. The gravity model of international trade was applied in the study with using the data over the years 2005-2017. The hypothesis was tested using static and dynamic GLS random and fixed effects, static LSDV model and dynamic GMM model. The two-step SYS- GMM model was concluded as a valid estimate. Empirical analysis shows that the exports between the two countries are predicted to be about 13.8 % higher if they have signed the EU-South Korea Free trade agreement, holding other factors fixed. Moreover, a positive impact of GDP and a negative impact of distance on export were detected, as expected.

Estimates of the role of non-tariff measures in trade between CZE/EU and Japan
Srna, Jan ; Semerák, Vilém (advisor) ; Palanský, Miroslav (referee)
Japan and the European Union negotiated and ratified an agreement about free-trade area that came into effect in January 2019. There haven't been enough data for Japan and the Czech Republic to show the actual impact yet. Gravity model is a useful tool for international trade that can be used to estimate the effect. Various types of methods are used for estimation. The main ones used here in this paper are Random effects and Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML) estimator. According to PPML model, the impact of the treaty is expected to be 57.3% increase of imports. The model shows positive trade potential for Japan and the Czech Republic. Especially for Japan there is a large gap between model prediction and actual values which means a small trade creation is expected. However, the most of the increasement of bilateral trade should be originated from trade diversion.
