Micenko, Matej ; Vokoun, Marek (advisor) ; Šmíd, Jan (referee)
Economic impact of mega-sport events is case of many discussions. Aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze economic impact of mega-sport events and try to recommend effective rate of financing them. Introduction to the issue of mega-sport events would be done through analyzing historical forces and political motivation through theirs statements about such an events and investigating numerous impact studies of already hosted events. This will lead to possibility of researching London 2012 Olympics and comparing its ex ante cost-benefit analysis with previous studies. Analytical section also deals with FIFA World Cup 1998 in France and its economic impact. Information found throughout the thesis indicate that important subjects for impact of mega sport events are time period and place of hosting, economic development of country, size of public sector and last but not least individual character of an event. Existence of some general proper rate of financing mega sport events is rather unlikely.

Economic valuation of radon mitigation countermeasures applied in family houses
Černý, Petr ; Sieber, Patrik (advisor) ; Krause, Josef (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to valuate economic effectivity of radon mitigation countermeasures co-financed by the state applied in family houses which display high radon level. Feasibility of the mitigation is analysed without concering financing source. Furthermore, the project is valuated from the point of view of the house owner and from the state's point of view. Presence of residental radon is increasing lung cancer probability, radon has notable healt effects. Costs and benefit of the hypothetic project are vauated in CBA analysis. The author finds the project unfeasible. CBA is discussed as a suitable economic tool for fiding alternative technological method aiming to social effectivity. Providing feasible change of remediation parametres caused positive social value of the project, socioeconomic flow in the state point of view would remain negative. Therefore, state participation on the radon mitigation countermeasures of private family houses is not reccomended.

Economic aspects of setting the minimum flow for water power plants on Jizera river.
Vocel, Martin ; Vejchodská, Eliška (advisor) ; Geuss, Erik (referee)
There is an obligation to hold a minimal flow when running a water power plant in a current czech legistation. There are environmental reasons to determine the minimum discharge and the way to set it is not valid at the moment. We can see a difference in a type of water power stations when comparing the effects from electric power which is produced in water power plant situated on czech rivers and the damage that does not appear on the environment. The weir type of power plant harms the surroundings mildly except of the possible migration obstacles. But the derivation type makes loss that could be hardly compensate by the produced electricity. Different methods of evaluating the enrironment brinks various results and that is the reason why it is hard to say how much the effects from producing the electricity exceed the benefits arising from instream water or vice versa. The only conclusion that can be said is the advice about including more points of view when setting the minimum flowage.

Cost-benefit analysis of implementation of data boxes in companies in the Czech Republic
Moravcová, Jana ; Pitka, Lukáš (advisor) ; Krahulec, Jan (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyse costs and benefits caused by the establishment of data boxes in companies in the Czech Republic. This work starts with basic facts about eGovernment and general information about data boxes. This introduction was chosen to help even to inexperienced readers in this area to create a fundamental view and gain necessary knowledge about the topic. Next chapters are already focused on costs and benefits of data boxes, same as practical part based on survey. In this work, there are also outlined some likely developments of eGovernment and data boxes as well. Within writing of this bachelor thesis, I was gathering information from accessible bookish and electronic sources and from my knowledge I had gained earlier due to my interest in this area.

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).

Not all dogs are alike: a cost-benefit analysis of guide and assistance dogs in the Czech Republic
Vašíčková, Pavla ; Hudík, Marek (advisor) ; Schwarz, Jiří (referee)
In the Czech Republic the guide dogs for the blind are recognized as a compensation tool and may be reimbursed up to 100% of the cost; on the other hand, assistance dogs for people in a wheelchair, the deaf, deafblind, or other people with disabilities are not. This thesis explains the concepts of blind person and disabled person, and distinguishes among various types of service dogs. The costs and benefits of guide dogs on one hand, and of assistance dogs for people using a wheelchair on the other, are calculated and the results are compared; it is also examined, whether "favoring" guide dogs by means of providing government support on their acquisition is legitimate, and what it may be caused by. Further, the thesis calculates the maximum possible burden for the state budget if a support for assistance dogs is introduced. It also explores the possible effects of the impact of the introduction of this support on the markets for guide and assistance dogs, respectively.

Analysis of the Economic efficiency of the provision that should improve water quality in Macha´s Lake
Kuličková, Ivana ; Vojáček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Pur, Luděk (referee)
Diploma thesis is focused on data evaluation of economic efficiency of provisions for impoving of water quality in Macha's lake. Data estimation of economic value of chase in water quality in Macha's lake were acquired during on-site research in the area. Choice Experiment was used for modelling of recreational demand. The base of Choice Experiment is coming out from Lancaster's Attribution theory and Random utility function. Data presentation and its acquiring is a part of the diploma thesis, there is also discussed the new findings and the base of neoclassical methodology of Cost-Benefit Analysis that is suitable for judging of economic efficiency of provisions that help improving water quality in The Macha's lake. Macha's lake is a signifiant recreational area. While deciding about long term solution of the problem of water quality it is necessary to judge efficiency of invested ressources. Estimations of changes in water quality in Macha's lake is going to be used for Cost-Benefit Analysis.
