The effects of a fat tax on Czech households and government revenues
Chudá, Tatiana ; Janský, Petr (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
Health related food taxes have recently spread over the world as a tool for reducing obesity. Rising number of obese people and increased health care costs due to illnesses caused by unhealthy diet represent a burden to the public sector. Taxation of an unhealthy food seems to be a good solution to this problem, as it is expected to increase the consumer price, thus providing an incentive for the consumer to buy less of this food. I use detailed Czech Statistical Office data to estimate the impact of fat tax on households'expenditures and public budget revenues in the Czech Republic. As I do not take into account the possible change of consumers' behaviour, my estimates form the upper bound of impact of the tax. I simulate three types of excise taxes - ad valorem, specific per kilogram of product and specific per kilogram of fat, so that they all raise the same budget revenues, and I compare their effects on individual products and households.

Bachelor thesis Analysis of domestic gastronomic periodicals after year 2000 is focused on development of the most read periodicals in Czech republic from gastronomy sphere. Main goal was to find out, which outside effects are influencing them the most and how. Also if all of the effects influenced all of the titles the same way. The anticipated outside effects are financial crisis of 2008, possibility of importing products, famous gastronomy people and growing interest in healthy lifestyle. Content analysis was used for the research, because it is systematic, it is possible to apply it on all of the periodicals and it provides clear results. First the paper researches each of the titles individually and after that compares them between each other. In the end some of the hypothesis proved right, mainly hypothesis about advertising growth and presence of the exotic recipes. Recipes focused on health in Apetit and Gurmet proved development of science fields. Hypothesis connected to famous and important people of gastronomy was found not to be correct. Periodicals did not react to the same influences the same way, but all of their reactions are noticeable and provable.

Czech Singles Lifestyle with Focus on Eating Kateřina Vondrášová Abstract Thesis deals with the issue of singles lifestyle with particular regard to food and eating. The phenomenon of gender free attitude towards series of activities in the life of singles (in other words the standpoint on the social world and practices that occur in it independently on one's sex/gender) was identified through in-depth semi structural interviews with people, who rank themselves among singles. It appears mainly in the area of relationships with friends, in the sphere of intimate (sexual) relationships, in the area of household keeping and, last but not least, in the attitude towards the food preparation, cooking and eating generally. This phenomenon is tightly related to the phenomenon of self-opening, in other words crossing the border of the private sphere of household and the entrance into the public space not just in the spatial sense but also in the social sense. Singles contribute to the social life and solidarity of society thanks to their everyday strategies - it is an opposite trend than the one which is associated with singles stereotypically.
