Income inequality and religiosity
Michl, Pavel ; Ježek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Brabec, Petr (referee)
The thesis is focused on relationship between income inequality and religiosity. Results of the analysis confirm correlation between income inequality and religiosity, however, causality of this relationship remains unclear. This relationship is established in the context of the theory of secularization, specifically in the new version -- the theory of existential insecurity. Analysis confirms this theory and is based on several sociological researches with a broad sample of countries and with several variables of religiosity separated into two groups (variables of religious participation and variables of personal faith), which is the main contribution of the analysis. Besides that, the thesis presents other explanations of the relationship between income inequality and religiosity. These theories are based on differences in preferences of religious and nonreligious individuals. The thesis also confirms ongoing secularization in the most countries of the world in last 20-30 years.

Analysis of the Position of Ex-prisoners on the Labour Market in Czech Republic
Třesohlavý, Pavel ; Ševčíková, Michaela (advisor) ; Brabec, Petr (referee)
The focus of this diploma thesis is to describe the position of ex-prisoners on the labour market and how their operations on that market influence the society. In this paper, I will be looking into the social and state budget costs that these people cause, and why we can consider them as another vulnerable group on the labour market. The factors that lower their chances to succeed are lower productivity, level of education, and also statistical discrimination by employers that leads to demanding expectations on possessing a clean record. I will also focus my attention to the solutions that are currently in place in the Czech Republic, as success on the labour market is an important element to lowering the relapse rate. In the Czech Republic, the relapse rate is between 60 to 65 percent, which is lot higher than in other countries that have been trying to solve this problem for a longer period of time. This thesis confirms the hypothesis that this problem in the Czech Republic is not being treated on the same level as in other countries, and therefore we could learn and apply other solutions from abroad. Half-way houses have proven to be an effective solution and it would be good to put them into practice in Czech Republic as well.

Drapáková, Karolína ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (advisor) ; Brabec, Petr (referee)
The goal of the master thesis is the research and comparison of the flexible forms of work in the Czech Republic and Norway in the 2004 - 2013. The theoretical part of the thesis is dedicated to the changes on the labour markets leading to higher unemployment and insecurities of the labour market. In the practical part are listed the forms of working contracts according to the labour law in the Czech Republic and Norway. The analysis of the Czech and Norwegian labour market has the focus on the flexible forms of work that are compared in terms of flexibility, security, usefulness, effectiveness, quality and the reason for using flexible forms of work. Using methods comparative and factorial analysis is the level of flexibility of the Norwegian labour market evaluated and compared with the level of flexibility of the Czech labour market. Due to the analysis of the micro- and macroeconomics conditions of the Czech Republic and Norway and an interview with Aline Bütikofer from the Norwegian School of Economics are identified the main reasons for the different degree of the flexibility of the labour market in the Czech Republic and Norway.

The applicability of the Chilean pension system in the Czech Republic
Brabec, Petr ; Krebs, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Kubelková, Karina (referee)
The Chilean pension reform has been an experiment of great success. Futhermore, thanks to it the current pensions are much higher than they would have been under the old Pay-As-You-Go system. Considering this, I decided to analyze the possible applicability of the Chilean pension system in the Czech environment. In the present diploma thesis I do analyze the potential results (replacement ratio) of the introduction of a fully funded system in the Czech Republic, in comperison with the replacement ratio of the current Czech PAYG system and the modificated Czech PAYG system that would not genarate deficits (through the reduction of pensions) and keep the retirement age same for all variants for the reason of objective comparison. Later, I do analyze the impact to the state budget of the transition to a fully funded system and discuss the advantages of a such transition. The main conclusion of this diploma thesis justifies that the transition to a fully funded system in the Czech Republic is not recommendatory, due to the fact that it requires high state budget funding and there is a great unlikelihood of benefits for all income groups in general.

Škodáčková, Gabriela ; Průša, Přemysl (advisor) ; Brabec, Petr (referee)
ŠKODÁČKOVÁ, Gabriela: Analysis of the shopping centre market in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Bachelor Thesis. Prague: University of Economics, Prague, Faculty of International Relations, Department of Retailing and Business Communication, 2011. 60 p. Thesis head: PRŮŠA, Přemysl. Dominant theme of the bachelor thesis is the analysis of shopping centre market in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The thesis is devided into three chapters. The first chapter defines the concepts of retailing from the theoretical aspect. The second part also consists of the theoretical disclosure, describing the evolution of retail units since the first retail markets had shown up in the seventh century. In the meantime the real retail market started to grow in the USA. Across the world, developers of shopping centers have broken free of their traditional boundaries, explore new markets and new territories. As Europe could not resist incoming trends, shopping centers started to appear concurrently in the Czech Republic and Slovakia too. Based on the historical data and figures from the previous shopping centre's development, as well as considering the theoretical characteristics of simple Central European retail formats, the aim is to shadow the shape of future retail formats to be build in coming years in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The shopping center of 2015 will likely be a unique hybrid, slightly different than what we used to know. The third part content is focused on the analysis of two model shopping centers. One is located in the Czech Republic -- NISA Shopping Center in Liberec and the other stands in Slovakia, Banská Bystrica and it is called EUROPA Shopping Center. The conclusion is rather analythical. Besides the SWOT analysis of the centres it specifies the way of dellimitation of catchment areas. At the close of theoretical part research was made within the group of local inhabitants, showing interesting results in circumscriptioning of customer profile. catchment area, competition, customer profile, location analysis, retail formats, retail history, retail market, retail stock, shopping center, socio-economic situation

Tobacco and the state budget
Brabec, Petr ; Běláčková, Vendula (advisor) ; Písař, Pavel (referee)
This diploma thesis examines the influence of the use, distribution and production of tobacco products on the Czech Republic state budget. In the theory part it presents some works that have dealt with the problem of the tobacco up till now and also different aspects of the state budget that are linked to the tobacco. Thus, it brings the theoretical background necessary for further work. The main part calculates, with regard on the presented theoretical background, the impact of the tobacco on different groups of Czech Republic state budget revenues and expenditures. The emphasis is put on the International Guidelines for Estimating the Costs of Substance Abuse of 2001, especially on the part concerning state budgets. The thesis does not focus only on the direct influence (on the revenue side mainly the excise tax revenue) but also on the indirect influence (i.e. revenues and expenditures that do not take place). The goal of the thesis is to answer the question whether the Czech Republic state budget is worse off because of the tobacco or whether the tobacco industry, in its widest sense, "sponsors" the treasury.

Tobacco and the State Budget Revenues
Brabec, Petr ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Paneš, Patrik (referee)
Práce se zabývá vlivem regulace výroby, distribuce a užívání tabákových výrobků na příjmy státního rozpočtu. V úvodní části jsou stručně shrnuty běžně uváděné důvody, možné způsoby takové regulace a jejich obecný dopad na společnost. Hlavní část potom na základě uvedeného teoretického základu zkoumá efekt regulace tabákových výrobků na příjmy státního rozpočtu, přičemž se snaží uvést konkrétní dopady pro Českou republiku. Nezaměřuje se přitom pouze na přímý vliv ?životního cyklu? tabákových výrobků na rozpočet (především příjmy ze spotřebních daní), ale i vliv nepřímý (alternativní užití peněz vydaných za tabákové výrobky apod.). Cílem práce není podat detailní přehled tabákové politiky, ale zamyslet se nad tím, zda jedním z hlavních důvodů regulace těchto výrobků není příjmová stránka státního rozpočtu (a dalších veřejných rozpočtů), tedy zda neplatí okřídlené rčení, že ?o peníze jde vždycky až v první řadě?.
