The impact of the EU Financial Support on Economic Growth of the Czech and Slovak Regions
Kolaříková, Jana ; Wokoun, René (advisor) ; Piecha, Marian (referee) ; Buček, Milan (referee)
One of the goals of the economic, social and territorial cohesion is to reduce regional disparities between member states of the European Union. For this purpose the structural funds and the Cohesion Fund were established(among other things). The theoretical part of this thesis presents the issue of regional disparities and ways how to measure them. In view of the lack of consistent definition of this concept, there are number of measurement and evaluation methods. Furthermore, the work focuses on the implementation of cohesion policy and ways of measurement of their impact on development and growth of regions. The practical part of this thesis presents, evaluates and compares the regional disparities between the regions of the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic via selected methods and assesses the impact of the financial support provided from the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund in the programming period 2007 - 2013 on economic growth of regions in the Czech and Slovak Republics. Following indicators are included: gross domestic product, unemployment rate, gross fixed capital formation and the rate of economic activity. The influence of the subsidy on the economic growth of regions is validated through the panel data analysis, namely a panel model with fixed effects, and Granger causality test. First, we investigated the impact of this support on the economic performance of regions where it is verified whether there is a relationship between economic performance of NUTS III regions in the Czech and Slovak Republics, characterized by gross domestic product and the unemployment rate, and the amount of the subsidy. Furthermore, it is verified whether the amount of subsidy depends on the level of regional gross domestic product. Dissertation contributes to the discussion about the impact of support from EU funds in the Czech and Slovak Republics, focusing on the regional level, and answers the question of reducing regional disparities using the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund.

Changes in the model building society
Němcová, Jana ; Půlpánová, Stanislava (advisor)
The thesis is aimed at building savings and changes experienced by its models due to changes in legislature ruling this banking product. The aim of the thesis is to cover the development of builing savings within the framework of its existence in the Czech Republic based on amount of contracts concluded the thesis tries to analyse popularity of building saving in relation to changes od the models and their impact. The thesis at the same time compares positives and negatives of individual models of building savings applied on a single saver. Further target is to decide whether a presen saver is more influenced by the actual model valid in the Czech Republic or the choice of one of five institutions providing the service of building savings based on comarison of the products provided by them.

Selected effects of investment incentives on the state budget and employment in the Czech Republic
Bolcha, Peter ; Schwarz, Jiří (advisor) ; Zemplinerová, Alena (referee) ; Krajč, Marian (referee)
The policy of investment incentives is applied in majority of countries all over the world. This popularity is in contradiction with rare academic analyses of this phenomenon and those few existing are not reflected by the actual policy. This work intends to partially fill the first gap and is devoted to estimation of fiscal impact of the policy and also its effects on employment. It contains a proposal of cost-benefit calculation and its application in Czech Republic. The necessary condition for any application of this method, one needs to assess causal impact of such policy on investment and also indirect effects in the labour market. Comparison of investment behavior of supported firms and firms from control group (chosen by matching estimator) shows that the extra investment generated (or maybe only accelerated) was at most 30% of contracted amounts. Indirect effects in labour market are estimated via dynamic model of employment using Heckman's treatment of selection. Inquireies show that linkage effects dominate the crowding out effects, signalling that domestic firms on average benefit from the presence of their foreign conterparts. Turning to supported vs. nonsupported firms, this effect diminishes. For estimation of various scenarios of fiscal and employment effects I use results from econometric estimates of this work as well as the other works from Czech environment. The unitary fiscal cost of one job created is several hundred tousand CZK and therefore the net cost has to be confronted with other potencial benefits of policy. With respect to fact that majority of firms resides and operates in Czech Republic prior the incentive award, technological transfer or other positive effects do not find much support in my findings. This indicates that the arguments for the provision of this policy in Czech economy are not valid (any more).

Contractual relations between a consulting company and its client
Brosková, Karolína ; Plíva, Stanislav (advisor) ; Horáček, Tomáš (referee)
Thesis: Contractual relations of consulting firm and client Author: Karolína Brosková The purpose of my thesis is to analyse the contractual relations between consulting firm and its client. The reason for my research is an increasing amount of consulting firms arising in Czech business enviroment as well as non-existence of precise and explicit regulation of these relations in Czech legal system. The thesis is composed of two main chapters, each of them dealing with different aspects of management consulting. Chapter One is subdivided into three parts. Part One is introductory and defines basic terminology of management consulting, its history and typology. Part Two deals with subjects of contractual relations between consulting firm and client. Finally part Three explains when these relations will be regulated by Czech commercial contract law. Chapter Two examines relevant Czech legislation in combination with practical examples from valid agreements. The chapter consists of two parts. Part One focuses on particularities of Czech contract law. Part Two investigates what should be included in consulting agreement. Conclusions are drawn partially in Chapter Two, part One and partially in the epilogue. The main aim of the thesis is to find out what is the economic cause of these relations, and what...

Závislost technické vzdělanosti obyvatelstva a míry nezaměstnanosti
Lukášová, Lucie
This thesis deals with the unemployment dependent on the technical education of the population of the Czech Republic. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the labour market as the unemployment results from the imperfection of the la-bour market. Human capital and education as a part of human capital are de-scribed. The practical part analyses the unemployment in the Czech Republic be-tween the years 2000 and 2013. The analysed data are taken from the Labour Force Sample Survey carried out by the Czech Statistical Office. The overall devel-opment of unemployment and the structure of the unemployed are examined from the point of view of the level of education achieved and the subject of study. The development of the technical education in the Czech Republic between the years 2000 and 2010 is examined as well. Correlation analysis is performed, the analysis does not validate the hypothesis that the unemployment is dependent on the amount of technically educated inhabitants.

RADIATION PATIENT LOAD IN DIGITAL AND CONVENTIONAL RADIOGRAPHY
KRAINA, Aleš
To implement a digital service essentially means transition from the established SFR technique (i.e. screen-film radiography) to predominantly CR (Computed Radiography) or DR (Direct Radiography). The stated methods of digitalization differ in their use of a range of types of diagnostic equipment and image digitalization devices. The utilization of individual methods can, however, lead to different results in the amount of skin entry radiation dose and organs absorbed dose in patients undergoing ionizing radiation examination. The objective of this thesis is to compare individual methods (i.e. SFR, CR, DR) generally used for image digitalization in respect of radiation stress for patients. Radiation stress was compared both by measuring entry radiation dose on phantoms and by clinical results acquired from a KAP meter. To validate clinical results, the three most often examinations have been chosen: skull, chest, and stomach examinations. This selection was affected by its frequency and amount of radiation stress. The measured results were then compared with available foreign literature. On the basis of the measurements acquired, it is apparent that Direct Radiography leads to radical reduction in radiation dose in patients. As regards Computed Radiography, it cannot be generally said whether it entails a lower dose in patients. The measured and consequently published figures imply that there are significant differences amongst individual manufactures of CR systems (for example Fuji, Kodak, Konica, etc.) which do or do not lead, in comparison with SFR, to a lower radiation stress. According to the measurements published in this thesis, it can be stated that the use of state-of-the art CR technology could lead to reduction as high as 50 percent of the radiation stress if compared to SFR.
