Analysis of the Effect of Unemployment on Sick leave
Kuhnová, Hana ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Potužák, Pavel (referee)
The aim of this work was to evaluate the impact of unemployment and other variables on sick leave in the Czech Republik. For this purpose I used panel data from all regions of the CR between 2001-2009. Using several models, I determined that the economic situation the state has greater influence on absenteeism than the health of the population. It was demonstrate that the inability to work in the CR is procyclical character. If unemployment rises by 1 % the number of cases of sick leave decreases by 1,13 per 100 sickness insured workers. Among other variables representing the economic situation have the highest influence legislative changes leading to a tightening of the payment of sickness benefits and wage compensation and the average gross wage. The compensation is higher and the difference in income is lower, the greater the motivation of patients to stay at home. In the research I was limited to the length of time series and the number of available data, therefore the findings may not be robust.

Sickness insurance as a part of mandatory expenditures in Czech republic
Bradáčová, Petra ; Urbánek, Václav (advisor) ; Urbánek, Václav (referee)
My thesis is composed of two important terms -- mandatory expenditures and sickness insurance. Both of these topics relate to each other -- benefits of sickness insurance as one of the components of mandatory expenditures. The aim of this thesis is to describe the structure and development of mandatory expenditures, approach and better understand the problems of sickness insurance -- mainly after the reform of sickness insurance. Furthermore, I want to quantify the measure of dependence between labour inability and the gross wage range. For aforementioned quantification I use correlation analysis realized from data of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs during years 2003-2007. Results of this correlation analysis are shown in the last chapter of the thesis.

Institutional-historical analysis of early development of sickness insurance in the Czech lands at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century
Dvořák, Lukáš ; Chalupníček, Pavel (advisor) ; Doležalová, Antonie (referee)
This text aims to identify the main features of development of sickness insurance in the Czech lands. In the second half of the 19th century new mutual benefit societies started to emerge -- similarly like in Great Britain and the United States, and in the same time in 1888 the compulsory workers sick insurance was introduced. In the first part, this work offers analytical framework for analysis of this development, especially the approach of the public choice school, the concept of cognitive hazard and of social capital. In second part, the author gives historical overview of the era, brief overview of the development of so-called Friendly societies in Great Britain and the United States and an analysis of compulsory workers sick insurance and voluntary societies in Bohemia. The analysis shows the role of interest groups (workers movement, employers, physicians etc.) that shaped the compulsory insurance in similar way as captured in the Anglo-Saxon experience. The push-through of the compulsory insurance strengthens their positions. The application of social capital and cognitive hazard concept reveals that the compulsory insurance could bring unintended cost in the long run by lowering a voluntary cooperation.
