Speculation on oil markets and its impact on commodity's price
Melcher, Ota ; Taušer, Josef (advisor) ; Baláž, Peter (referee) ; Müller, Štěpán (referee)
This study aims to analyse the precrisis period on the oil markets with a primary objective of assessing the role of speculation in the commodity's price development and its volatility. First it depicts the rapidly increasing speculative activity on the futures market together with the parallel oil price surge. The speculation is initially proxied by non-commercial traders' positions and subsequently quantified by Working's T-index. The paper then uses speculative traders' positions and both spot and futures prices to test for Granger causality within the framework of VAR models. For the sake of consistency it also evaluates causal links between speculation and inventories level. Further the study investigates the speculation impact on volatility of oil prices by employing various approaches in volatility quantification including GARCH models. Contrary to expectations we find that the speculatio's impact on both prices and their volatility is rather insignificant. In the last chapter we therefore seek for an explanation of the oil price developments by examining the market fundamentals. The interaction of supply and demand finally gives substantial evidence for understanding the price developments in the precrisis period.

Bokrová, Jitka ; Skoumalová, Petra (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to study physiological effect of various kinds of lager beer and to compare these effects in Czech beer and several beers produced in foreign countries. In theoretical part Czech beer characteristics and biologically active compounds in beer are described. Quantification of total phenolics, total flavonoids, antioxidant activity and bitter substances was performed photometrically. The quantity of vitamin C was determined by high performance liquid chromatography with spectrophotometrical detection. Beer buffering capacity was analyzed by pH measurement in artificial stomach and intestinal liquid, respectively. Analysis of physiological effect was accomplished by analysis of proteolytic enzyme activity. The total of 22 samples (16 Czech and 6 foreign lager beers) was studied. In these samples levels of basic technological characteristics and buffering capacity were compared. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beers were compared too. According to experimental data it was confirmed that consumption of Czech beer (mainly lager beer) positively influences digestion process and activity of digestive proteolytic enzymes.
