Raising the minimum wage and the Austrian apriorism
Panýr, Jakub ; Špecián, Petr (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
This thesis deals with a problem of a relationship between minimum wage and potential consequent unemployment. While solving it, I am trying to connect apriorism of the misesian branch of the Austrian school and a Bayesian approach. It will enable us to correct our subjective belief in certain hypothesis with regard to the new facts which may appear. Sentences of the Austrian school about a certain positive relationship between raising the minimum wage and unemployment of unskilled workers, based on claiming about a synthetic a priori character of these sentences, seems as not so convincing, after confrontation with the Bayesian epistemology and facts from other disciplines. Then I am trying to show, that refusing of a quantification of unique events seems to be wrong and not coherent with callings of the Austrian school for "realistic" foundaitons. The Austrian school may according to these findings give up its claim about unchallengeable certainty of its theories, and complement it with a healthy dose of this Bayesian approach.

Vaverka, Tomáš ; Pavlík, Ján (advisor) ; Lipka, David (referee)
Apriorism in Economic methodology is known especially as a specific method of Austrian economists whose basic definition established L.v.Mises in his Magnus Opus ¨Human Action¨ [1949]. It is less famous that Englis's Teleology and Mises's Praxeology are grounded on similar philospher principles. Political development after 1948 in Czech Republic has broken possible and deeper interaction between this economics schools. This work will follow this interrelationship. It will describe apriorism of Karel Englis and apriorism of his pupil Jan Loevenstein along with relation to Austrian apriorism, let us say Mises's Praxeology. It will be emphasized especially contributions and challenges witch Czech apriorism should contribute to apriorism in economics.
