Russian position in the international trade and its influence on real economy
Abdullin, Denis ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Bolotov, Ilya (referee)
International trade and competitiveness of domestic producers on the international market are very important factors for a further economic development. Country's trade structure determines its resistance to external shocks, which threaten domestic economy. Diversification gains a lot in importance lately. The existence of more industries, which are able to withstand tough competition with foreign firms is a cornerstone of economic development. Diversification is a key determinant for Russian economy due to a greater dependency on the export of raw materials, especially crude oil. These macroeconomic links can be shown by different econometric tools. Problems with excessive dependency on oil export can be detected by means of empiric analysis.

Measuring the Cultural Difference in Individual Attitude Towards Risk
Tetenova, Evgeniia ; Špecián, Petr (advisor) ; Prokop, Jaromír (referee)
Weber, Blais and Bets (2002) found that difference in risk attitudes and behaviour can depend on the context: individuals can change risk attitude across different domains. Among these domains are financial, which consists of investment and gambling, social, recreational, health/safety and ethical. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the differences in risk attitudes between the Czech Republic and Russia. For this purpose data for the empirical analysis was gathered using a questionnaire based on Domain-Specific Risk-Taking (DOSPERT) Scale proposed by Weber, Blais and Betz (2002). The collected data were analyzed using linear regression, following Weber, Blais and Betz (2002) and Breuer et al. (2013). The main findings revealed that there is a difference in risk attitude: the participants from Russian sample tend to be more risk-seeking in financial domain, especially in gambling, than the respondents from Czech sample. Also interesting finding is that Russians are more interested in getting profit or any other kind of benefits from the participation in risky activities, while Czechs decide to engage in risky activities by first taking into account their individual perception how risky these activities could be.

The impact of centralization on democracy in Russia
Pavlova, Aleksandra ; Němec, Jan (advisor) ; Cibulková, Petra (referee)
The thesis aims at analyzing the consequences of centralization policies in Russia and its impact on the quality of democracy in the country. Centralization is believed to strengthen states' political power by increasing the effectiveness of governance and proliferation of secession movements. However centralization is also very often associated with antidemocratic governance because it implies the limitation of local authorities' power which can lead to decrease of local official's responsiveness, people participation etc. Thus there should be taken into account many factors when assessing whether the centralization policy is necessary or not.
