The functioning of collective authorities in the organizational structure of non-profit organizations
Pisárová, Tereza ; Vrzáček, Petr (advisor) ; Šedivý, Marek (referee)
This Master's thesis deals with collective bodies in non-governmental non-profit organizations in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part acquaints the reader with basic concepts such as non-profit organization and its possible legal forms in the Czech Republic, mission, fundraising, public relations, strategic planning and briefly introduces the collective bodies of foreign organizations. The practical part is then based on good practices of six organizations, whose representatives of collective bodies were willing to share their experiences. The organizations were selected on the basis of successful participation in the competition Non-Profit Organization of the Year, in which they were placed among the top three in their category (some of them even for several years). Among these organizations we can find one registered institute, two public benefit societies and three registered associations. Since these organizations aren't with the same legal form, their collective bodies are also different. During the description of good practices, it was found, however, that the degree of motivation with which the members of the collective bodies of the surveyed organizations commit themselves to their work and their active involvement in the operations of the organization does not differ. The thesis also...

Male Attitude and Family Planning Practices in Angola
Toulová, Natálie ; Chytilová, Julie (advisor) ; Šedivý, Marek (referee)
Natálie Toulová Abstract Men's involvement in their partners' lives can be an essential driver in terms of the utilization of family planning programs. Using cross-sectional data from the Angola Demographic and Health Survey from 2015-2016, this thesis investigates the factors influencing family planning use from the men's point of view. Apart from the expected positive correlation of education, age, place of residence, and economic status with contraceptive use, it is hypothesized that men's attitude, knowledge, and fertility preferences affect contraceptive use and unmet need of their spouses. Using logistic and probit regressions, the results of this thesis point out a significant positive relationship between men's knowledge of contraception, their fertile preferences, and their partners' use of contraception. Lastly, the thesis lays down a few suggestions for future research. .

How does death of a household member affect consumption? The Case of Mexico
Šedivý, Marek ; Chytilová, Julie (advisor) ; Vacek, Pavel (referee)
In this thesis, we study the effect of death of a household member on the evolution of household per capita consumption. We provide multiple contributions to the available literature. We are the first to analyze all three waves of the Mexican Family Life Survey and use them to estimate the effect of within-household mortality on consumption. Furthermore, we assess to what extent this effect depends on the characteristics of the deceased household member. We also provide evidence on the persistence of the shock into consumption. We rely on a fixed-effects model. We find that households are capable of perfectly smoothing shocks into consumption caused by within-household mortality. However, we find evidence indicating that the effect of within- household mortality on consumption is likely to depend on the characteristics of the affected household. We consider multiple robustness checks. Based on these we conclude that our findings are robust against variations in the specification of our model.

New new bottom billion: Poverty and regional differences in price levels around the world
Šedivý, Marek ; Janský, Petr (advisor) ; Schwarz, Jiří (referee)
New new bottom billion: Poverty and regional differences in price levels around the world Author: Marek Šedivý Supervisor: Petr Janský, PhD. Abstract Comparable national price levels are a fundamental instrument for any research attempting to compare economic indicators of various countries. Nowadays they are produced by a number of organizations, namely the World Bank, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Penn World Tables. However these are provided only on national level even though significant evidence of inter-regional differences in price levels exists. This could lead to a bias of income-based economic indicators. Systematic assessment of the impact of spatial price differences on income-based economic indicators was done in this thesis. On the basis of the existing research it estimates regional price levels for a sample of 21 high and middle income countries. By combination of these indicators with income survey data provided by the Luxembourg Income Study it constructs Gini coefficients and poverty headcount ratios both adjusted and unadjusted for regional price levels. Significant and persistent evidence of bias induced by regional price levels is found throughout the sample. In the majority of cases the failure to adjust for spatial price differences leads to...
