Evaluation of a Transport Infrastructure Investment
Blažek, Tomáš ; Sieber, Martina (advisor) ; Vlček, Josef (referee)
In this work, I deal with external costs used in economic evaluations of transport infrastructure projects. Specifically, I measure how the results of an economic evaluation depend on the input parameters used. In the first part of my work, I analyze and compare various methods for determining the social costs of accidents and noise. In the second part of my work, I verify the official economic evaluation of the Prague - Dresden high-speed railway project using modified input data. The analysis of the methods for determining the societal costs of transportation-related accidents and noise has shown that there is no single method to be universally applicable regardless of context. The calculations performed using modified input parameters revealed high variability in the results of economic evaluations. The high degree of dependence of the results of economic evaluations on the input parameters confirms the importance of standardization of the methodology for economic evaluation of projects. Key words: evaluation, externalities, investment

Analysis of the emission allowances and their socio-environmental impacts
Krutská, Kristýna ; Suša, Oleg (advisor) ; Sieber, Martina (referee)
(in English): Each day, tons of carbon dioxide, greenhouse gasses and other pollutants are released into our atmosphere due to human activity. This causes a "greenhouse" effect, which contributes to global warming. To continue this course of action should be seen as unbearable for mankind as we are poisoning and destroying our planet. The Kyoto Protocol has become the launching platform of combatting this problem and it requires the developed countries involved to commit to a long-term reduction of green house gas emissions. The Czech Republic has embraced this scheme, and this involvement will be analysed. Trading with emission allowances is one of the main tools used by the Kyoto Protocol and this thesis analyses the genesis as well as the continued development of emission allowances and evaluates both the benefits and weaknesses of such a scheme.
