New regulation in classsification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities according to IFRS
Peringer, Matouš ; Vašek, Libor (advisor) ; Najmanová, Daniela (referee)
Financial instruments stand for a critical role in current economy. Total value of financial assets was $167 trillion due to McKinsey study in 2007. More alarming is a fact that total value of all derivative at OTC market was more than $600 trillion what is more than world's wealth. It is obvious that such a market needs rigorous regulation. International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) releasing new standard which regulate only financial instruments aims to react on that fact. In first part I would like to show current situation on financial market and brief regulation due to current rules. From the text there should be obvious nowadays turbulent environment and crisis deforming financial market. It was necessity for me to demonstrate the process of developing and adopting of the new standard. Next part of my diploma thesis refers to adopted rules for financial assets. This should be the fundamental part for users of financial statements as well as for my diploma thesis. The main changes took part in classification of financial assets. There are two new concepts for classification of financial asset which should be described in detailed. For better illustration I also placed practical part for classification according to new models. For readers it is convenient to know the differences between exposure draft and released standard. That should demonstrate the complex view of IASB. There are few changes in classification of financial liabilities. The main change is in specific case of own credit which I posted in thesis. This specific problem postponed the whole endorsement of the standard. The last chapter is dedicated to convergence between IFRS and US GAAP. Both parties work on convergence on reporting of financial instruments.

Energy Performance Contracting
Čtrnáctý, Jaromír ; Geuss, Erik (advisor) ; Branžovský, Antonín (referee)
Energy Performance Contracting is an energy saving method, when the supplier guarantees a certain minimal level of energy savings to the customer, as well as non-rising energy costs. The method was developed at the turn of 70's and 80's in the USA and has spread to dozens of countries around the world till today, although the rate of the EPC market development differs from country to country. The method is useful mostly for heating, electricity and gas cost savings by the end-users. In the Czech Republic, the method has been used since 1993. Until now, several dozens, or even hundreds of projects have been realized, mostly for public sector customers. This paper analyzes the current state of the EPC method usage around the world as well as in the Czech Republic, the key part comprises of the EPC principles description, based on data from real EPC contracts. The work is concluded by a SWOT analysis of the method and by a discussion of the following question: "Can EPC projects blockade the overall saving potential in some cases?" The key information source for most of the work were answers to questions sent to eight Czech ESCO companies representatives, as well as the outputs from guided interviews with four of them, which were taking place between January and May 2009.

Behaviour of Stocks on the Prague Stock Exchange During the Financial Crisis: Evidence from Empirical Research
Koza, Oldřich ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Krištoufek, Ladislav (referee)
This work studies the behaviour of the four most traded stocks on the Prague Stock Exchange from January 2007 to July 2010. Its main goal is to describe how the financial crisis influenced the Prague Stock Exchange. Employing standard statistical methods, ARMA, GARCH, and VAR models I examine on daily data the following phenomena: volatility, price jumps, the day of the week effect, validity of the efficient market hypothesis, and information flow between the stocks. The results imply that the financial crisis had stronger impact on the banking sector stocks than on other stocks. The crisis was mainly characterized by rapid growth in volatility and correlation between the stocks. It also influenced the information flow and the day of the week effect. However, the crisis did not trigger growth in the number of extreme price movements, and it did not cause the market to be less information efficient.

Novák, Dominik ; Strouhal, Jiří (advisor) ; Žádník, Josef (referee)
This masters thesis aims to assess and evaluate the potential of home based energy storage systems for the final user. In theoretical part it therefore describes the historical development of the European power sector with the purpose of determining, what was the impact of this development on products offered by energy providers to the final consumers of electricity. Findings from this analysis are then used to design a model, which is introduced and described in the practical part of the masters thesis. This model is afterwards used to assess the profitability of home batteries implementation by three different types of households and also to determine, what are the key drivers and constraints for the adoption of energy storage systems by households.

U3V VŠE a počítačová gramotnost v systému celoživotního vzdělávání
Hnilička, Jakub ; Horný, Stanislav (advisor) ; Vilím, Tomáš (referee)
Computer literacy has recently emerged as a new topic, complementing traditional literacy. While this issue affects every one of us, it is particularly important for people of post-productive age, who have not been able to become acquainted with information technology during their professional life. The National Computer Literacy Program provided a great opportunity to eliminate this illiteracy; unfortunately it came to an end together with termination of the Ministry of Informatics of the Czech Republic. It is striking that the State has been preparing projects in the area of e-Government, electronic census and electronic elections without having any developmental strategy for users of these ambitious projects. An opportunity to improve personal skills after the end of a professional career is provided by the University of the Third Age at the University of Economics, where students learn to use not only computers, but also the multimedia in the Graphic and Multimedia Laboratory. Unfortunately, this university is not accessible to everyone. The limitations consist particularly in the precondition of completed secondary education, but also in the available capacity. Thus, an option that is really available to everyone lies in the commercial sector, which offers a wide range of courses. These courses are provided either by software companies or by the ECDL (European Computer Driving License).
