Understanding Information Asymmetries through Mechanism Design
Albert, Branislav ; Červinka, Michal (advisor) ; Adam, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis serves as an introduction and overview of the broad and closely related fields of mechanism design, contract theory, and information economics. Each chapter is intended to provide a self-contained guide to the particular area of application -- examples include adverse selection, moral hazard, and auctions. The reader should benefit from the thesis in two ways: by understanding the general notions of the revelation principle, incentive compatibility, and individual rationality from the mechanism design theory as well as by examining the particular information asymmetry models in the individual areas.

Long-term memory detection with bootstrapping techniques: empirical analysis
Albert, Branislav ; Krištoufek, Ladislav (advisor) ; Avdulaj, Krenar (referee)
A time series has long range dependence if its autocorrelation function is not absolutely convergent. Presence of long memory in a time series has important consequences for consistency of several time series estimators and forecasting. We present a self-contained theoretical treatment of time series models necessary for study of long range dependence and survey a large list of parametric and semiparametric estimators of long range dependence. In a Monte Carlo study, we compare size and power properties of four estimators, namely R/S, DFA, GPH and Wavelet based method, when relying on asymptotic normality of the estimators and distributions obtained from the moving block bootstrap. We find out that the moving block bootstrap can improve the size of the R/S estimator. In general however, the moving block bootstrap did not perform satisfactorily for other estimators. GPH and Wavelet estimators offer the most reliable asymptotic confidence intervals.
