Regulací proti hazardu?
Lehmanová, Zuzana ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Petrášek, František (referee)
My bachelor thesis focuses on regulation of gambling in the area of the Czech republic. In the introduction I would like to state reasons for the regulation of this market which are often mentioned. As well as the reasons for regulation I also take into consideration the liberal point of view. I am also going to discuss an influence of the regulations on different target groups. The purpose of my thesis is to discover if the existing and proposed limitations of gambling in the Czech republic are effective and help to restrict gambling and its negative impact. I would like to discuss this question in more depth via an example of bets on the Internet also called technical games. Nowadays, these technical games are expanding extremely fast. Another idea I am going to deal with is a contribution of legislation to this increasing trend and also the precise way of the regulation of these games and how are they affected by the limitations of other branches of gambling. Eg. If there is a transfer of users of other games ( as an effect of the possibility of communities to restrict the number of slot-machines in particular area).

Zemanová, Miroslava ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
This thesis refers to the contemporary drugs policy and its impact in the area of cannabis. Even if the antidrug policy is set by the international conventions of the United nations, there are many significant differences among states especially if cannabis is concerned. These policies focus mainly on the supply side restrictions, but the aim of the thesis is to analyze the effects on the demand side of the market. First, the main principles of the antidrug policies of selected states are described. The states were picked up to compare the most different policies of the western society possible. The USA represents a prohibitionist approach on the other hand the Netherlands and the Czech republic are closer to the liberal approach. The purpose of the thesis is to find such a policy that is succesful at reducing the number of cannabis users. The comparaison is based on several indicators such as rates of use, drug potency and it also considers the costs of state drug control funding.

Greece and debt crisis
Šprlák, Štefan ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Urban, Luděk (referee)
The aim of this work is to analyze the causes of current debt crisis of Greece. Deficit financing and the poor state of public finances have roots in 1980s, when during two reigns of socialist governments (1981-1989) a massive increase in government spending and subsequent public debt multiplied above 100 % of GDP, which persisted despite a degree of economic growth until today. Doubts about the ability to pay country's liabilities intensified during the last financial crisis and culminated at the turn of 2009/2010. Examples of countries that have successfuly faced poor economic situation in relation to debt by fiscal consolidation and reform steps are New Zealand and Ireland. Reforms in these states and their subsequent positive economic results will be put into contrast with non-reformed developments in Greece and possible outcomes for more successful future will be suggested. To place the problem into current perspective, additional focus will be directed towards the causes of actual declining economic trajectory and overall poor state of public finances in Ireland.

The Schengen Information System and police cooperation
Šelmeciová, Eliška ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Petrášek, František (referee)
The topic of my thesis is the Schengen Information System (SIS). The main objective is to analyze the functionality of the system, first of all, whether its operation ever brought any concrete results, or is it merely just another administrative burden for those who must use it. Therefore I would like to focus on whether the SIS is an effective and beneficial for the Czech Republic, or if there is any other and should be a cheaper way to address this issue. The answer to these questions will be sought on the basis of an evaluation on the performance of this system two years after its launch in the Czech Republic. In the beginning I only briefly mention the history of Schengen, and then I will address the issue of the SIS. SIS is created and used by all member countries and includes information on persons and things that are important to ensuring security and justice in the common area. SIS is connected to several of our databases, such as distributing or PATRMV, which uses the Police of the Czech Republic in search of motor vehicles and registration plates. Part of this work should be a short questionnaire, which should give the answer to how people perceive the abolition of frontiers, whether it is for them an advantage or disadvantage, and whether the abolition of borders under their safety is being compromised in the form of illegal migration.

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.

Corruption in public service in Czech republic
Durnová, Michaela ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
In my work I would like to deal with corruption in public service in Czech Republic. The main aim of my work will be analysis of symptoms, impacts and severity of corruption in public service in Czech Republic. There is necessary to dwell on clarifying the causes of this type of corruption, namely stimuli and situations that give opportunity to its occurrence. So I'll try to find and describe the prerequisites for the development of corruption. These assumptions are mainly institutional background of state (quality and size of institution) or the level of bureaucracy. In my work I try to compare between these factors and degree of corruption (using the CPI index), whereupon I answer a question how these characteristics influence the degree of corruption. Than in the main work part I'll try to analyze own questionnaire research and compare the results with professional sociological studies and statistics dealing with corruption. Object of questioning will be especially respondents orientation in public service corruption problem, their experiences with corruption and their attitudes towards it. For this purpose I use position typology, cited by Fric et al. (1999), which defines angling, moralizing, phleghmatic and pragmatic attitude. Based on the results of the survey I would like to show how serious is the level of corruption in public service in Czech Republic.

Analysis rail market in the Czech republic
Šubrt, Marek ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Zemplinerová, Alena (referee)
This thesis deals with the analysis of the Czech railway transport, which still maintain their dominant position CD, joint-stock company. In the theoretical part I will introduce the concept of the Austrian school of economics on competition and monopoly. According to this concept, the monopoly is formed exclusively by the state through an artificially created barriers to entry into the industry. Subsequently, I will focus on the concept of regulation, which will be based on the ideas G. Stiegler, who has come up with the concept of regulation in the interest of the regulated. Based on the theory of the SBC I will analyze the status of the CD on the market for rail transport. The practical part will be therefore based on the following CD's analyzed position on the Czech market and I will apply theoretical knowledge to the case of Student Agency, limited company (resp. RegioJet, join-stock company), which has vainly trying to promote in this market. I will analyze here how tenders of regions (hence the Ministry of Transport) have taken place and why the above mentioned company hasn't gain access to the railway market in the CR. My goal is on the case of Czech Railways to confirm (or disprove) the conclusions of the Austrian theory that the only way to maintain a monopoly position in the market are government intervention in the form of artificially created barriers to entry into the industry.

Economics and deflation
Švec, Marek ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Pavel (referee)
This thesis deals with deflation. Today the importance of inflation and deflation is creating a false impression about the true meaning of those two economic concepts. The objective of this work is to summarize the concept of deflation and a detailed taxonomy of the Austrian School view contrasted against a traditional view of mainstream economics and the widespread view that deflation is one of the most serious disorders, such as the economy may suffer. But are falling prices really so bad? The theoretical part mainly demonstrates by the value-neutral analysis that the long-declining prices in most cases are beneficial. In the end, these theoretical knowledge is applied in the case study, which analyzes in detail the Japanese economy, for which deflation became synonymous. Findings will be compared with the monetary policies conducted by the Bank of Japan, so I wanted to demonstrate that the persistent economic downturn in Japan is not because of price deflation, but as the result of aggressive fiscal and monetary policies to halt the decline in general level of prices of goods and services.

True Money Supply
Dufek, Michal ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Czesaný, Slavoj (referee)
This thesis deals with the real money supply (True Money Supply). Monetary aggregates (M1, M2, M3) used in mainstream economics is that, in many respects inaccurate and therefore unsuitable. TMS monetary aggregates are preferable aggregates M1, M2, M3, because it counted some of the cash items twice, unlike M1, M2, M3, and therefore more accurately reflects the evolution in monetary economics. The aim of this work is based on established theory of money, count the real money supply (TMS1, TMS2) and investigate its characteristics and relationship with respect to selected economic indicators, which are: the monetary aggregate M2, the consumer price index (CPI), industrial producer price index (PPI), the discount rate, two-week repo rate, index of the Prague Stock Exchange (PX), the total volume of loans. Confrontation between TMS1 and TMS2 with selected economic indicators, can lead to a more accurate understanding of the causes of changes in the economy over the economic cycle. The theoretical part is to define the concept of money, creation, development, development of the banking system; commodity mode and paper (FIAT) money. The analytical part will try to uncover hidden phenomena and causal relationships between the real money supply and the development of the economy. The work is based on the methodology of the Austrian School of Economics, whose praxeologie seems to me the most because of its clarity and consistency. Without this theory, we could not understand the question: What else is money and what is not?
