Democratic deficit of the EU: options of evolvement
Tomášová, Tereza ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (advisor) ; Weiss, Tomáš (referee)
Diploma thesis " Democratic deficit of the EU: options of evolvement" deals with democracy and democratic legitimacy of the European Union. It represents a particular concept of the EU's democratic deficit, which is ambiguous term, but generally indicates a lack of democracy- particularly the lack of popular participation in the governance or a lack of democratic legitimacy of EU institutions and decision-making. The aim of my work was, according to the hypotheses to determine what is causing the EU's democratic deficit, whether it is a serious problem that should be addressed at European level, and if so, what are the possibilities for minimizing or further evolvement. To explore this issue further, I examine the theory of democratic legitimacy in the introduction and divide it into the "input and output" legitimacy. Subsequently, I also introduced methodology and the current debate on democratic deficit in the leading periodicals, dealing with the EU and think tanks. The second part deals with the history of the democratic deficit and its various definitions, follows with a presentation of my two hypotheses dealing with the question whether or not the EU's democratic deficit is a problem. In the third part, my two hypotheses are tested on the project of the Single European Sky, which aims to...

Extensions of Kalman Filtering
Tlustý, Pavel ; Hlávka, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Cipra, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Extension of Kalman filter Author: Pavel Tlustý Department: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: Mgr. Zdeněk Hlávka, Ph.D. Supervisor's e-mail address: hlavka@karlin.mff.cuni.cz Abstract: In this thesis we try to explain a theory of the Kalman filter and apply it on European CALL and PUT options. In the first chapter, we sum- marize a general theory of the Kalman filter for a linear state space and an extension of the Kalman filter for a non-linear state space. In the second chapter, we estimate the state price density from prices of European CALL options and European PUT options. In the third chapter, we mention ap- plications of the previous theory on the real data sets. Chapter 4 concerns smoothing techniques that are used to obtain a better looking (smoother) state price density estimates. Keywords: Kalman filter, extended Kalman filter, state price density, CALL option, PUT option 1
