Fight against cartels in public procurement in the Czech Republic
Šedová, Kristýna ; Šimíček, Petr (advisor) ; Chmelová, Pavla (referee)
This bachelor thesis thematizes cartels in public procurement in the Czech Republic, their monitoring, detection and penalisation. Based on theoretical knowledge of cartels, public procurement and bid rigging it analyzes and compares value of penalty with economic indicators of companies behaving dishonestly. The Czech Office of the Protection of Competition harmonizes the setting of penalties with European Commission. However, the thesis concludes that the punishments are considerably benevolent. Although the aim is not to get the firm to liquidation, it will be difficult to eliminate breaking the competition without some stricter preventive measures starting with the higher penalties.

Antitrust policy and its impact on market participants
Havlíčková, Pavlína ; Hudík, Marek (advisor) ; Čermáková, Klára (referee)
The objective of antitrust policy is to looking after/supervise on fair economic competition leading to price reductions, improving quality and expanding service offerings in the market. But antitrust performs its activities efficiently? Are its decisions under the protection of consumers or for the benefit of producers? Work will focus on the antitrust policy in the United States of America and in the Europe, especially on the merger case General Electric and Honeywell, which has been in the USA allowed, but in the EU prohibited. This work evaluates approaches to the merger on the both sides of Atlantic and arguments of the European Commission, that leads to prohibition. Finally, the work compares the US and the EU antitrust policy and mentions their USEU Merger Working Group, which should ensure higher cooperation, when they simultaneously review the same merger transaction.

Poprac, Aleš ; Chytilová, Helena (advisor) ; Potužák, Pavel (referee)
The main goal of this bachelor thesis is to advance the protection of the economic competition in the European Union and in the USA. After the analysis of the historical progress from the beginning of this politic till the present, there will be a closer analysis, which will consider the key differences of the European and American protection of the economic competition. This thesis is based on the theoretic analysis, which goes out from the progress of the economic schools like liberal and interventional way of economics. These theoretical results will be applied to the analytic part of the thesis. The thesis considers many controversial processes, which were solved in the history of antimonopoly law. The author will discuss these processes in the equation of the theory of economic schools. There we will see a lot of mistakes in the rule formulations of the policy of economic competition. In the last part, I would like to focus on the protection of the economic competition in the Slovak Republic. We will discuss the curious process of the antimonopoly policy in this part too.

Analýza přístupů Evropské komise a USA k antimonopolní politice v odvětví operačních systémů a internetu
Weber, Jan ; Halás, Vladimír (advisor) ; Nováček, Jan (referee)
Cílem této práce je analýza a následné porovnání přístupů antimonopolních orgánů Evropské komise a USA v odvětví operačních systémů osobních počítačů a internetu. Konkrétně přístupy analyzuji na případu firmy Microsoft, jejíž produkty tvoří významnou součást těchto trhů. V práci se postupně propracovávám od počátečního sporu s firmou v USA až ke sporu evropskému, věnuji se jednotlivým problémům, konečným nařízením a zjišťuji, zda jsou nařčení z narušení soutěže legitimní. Dospěji k názoru, že na první pohled rozdílné přístupy orgánů jednotlivých stran jsou si, i přes odlišné závěry, velice podobné a také je shledávám jako neoprávněné. Ke konci práce diskutuji možné negativní dopady výsledných opatření na budoucí vývoj těchto odvětví.

Antitrust institutions guarding the competition on the markets detect and punish cartel agreements and similar efforts of companies to protect the competition.

I examine the functioning of leniency program in Czech Republic and European Union, number of cases, successes in detecting the hard-core cartels and the differences in final fines after the judgments. Finally I summarize my knowledge information and opinions of the leniency program and the problem with cartels in general and I suggest the possible ways of improvement.

Teorie konkurence a antimonopolní politika
Hrdlovič, Richard ; Kindlová, Eva (advisor) ; Mičúch, Marek (referee)
V práci poukážeme na vývoj teorie konkurence v dějinách ekonomického myšleni. Začneme stručným nastíněním problematiky konkurence tak, jak ji chápal zakladatel moderní ekonomie Adam Smith. Jeho názory předznamenaly vyvoj této teorie na dalších 200 let a ovlivnily tak formování neoklasické ekonomie, na kteru navážeme. Poukážeme na některe osobnosti, které spoluvytvářely neoklasickou teorii konkurence, jako byli Chamberlain a Robinsonová a dotkneme se i jedneho z predstavitelů chicagské školy, Franka Knighta, jako jednoho z prvních, kteří formuloval podmínky platné na dokonale konkurenčních trzích. Okrajove se seznámíme s Marshallem, a Wallrasovou teorií všeobecné rovnováhy. Po definování konkurence tak, jak ji vnímali neoklasikové se přesuneme od statického pojetí konkurence k dynamismu rakouské ekonomie a zaměříme se na teorii podnikatele a úlohu inovací ve spolecnosti a ve vývoji na trzích. Rakouský přístup nám otevře nový pohled na formování hospodářské politiky, která stavěla svá doporučení na modelu dokonalé konkurence, a jakékoliv výraznější vychýlení od tohohle stavu, považovala za důvod ke státním zásahům.
