Faktory ovlivňující úspory domácností v České a Slovenské republice
Nedbalová, Pavlína
This diploma thesis deals with the discovery of factors that influence the household saving rate in the Czech Republic and Slovakia and the detection of any differences between these countries. In addition to the identification of significant determinants of saving, it investigates the development of Czech and Slovak household saving rate between 2000 and 2017. For this purpose a model is designed that describes the behaviour of the household saving rate over time, while allowing the prediction of values for the next period. Last but not least, recommendations on economic policy measures are set out on the basis of the findings.

The Use of Facebook by the Czech Municipalities
Turková, Kateřina ; Kouřilová, Jana (advisor) ; Říhová, Gabriela (referee)
This diploma thesis discusses the evaluation of the extent and way of using the social network called Facebook by the municipalities of the Central Bohemia Region, participating in the local Agenda 21. The subjects of the research are official Facebook pages of the municipalities on the mentioned social network. Emphasis is placed on revealing the relationships between the characteristics of individual municipalities and their activity, or the way of using Facebook. The theoretical part of the thesis provides definitions of the basic terms and the theoretical background. The research questions are formulated in the Methodology chapter. They are answered in the research section of this thesis by using combination of research methods. Official Facebook pages were created by four municipalities (until the 1 January 2016) from total number of twelve municipalities and small municipalities, participating in the local Agenda 21 in the Central Bohemian Region. According to the results of the econometric analysis, the higher the unemployment rate in these municipalities, the more likely it is that the municipality has an official Facebook page.

Econometric analysis of unemployment in Czech republic
Melnyk, Anastasiia ; Formánek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Sokol, Ondřej (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of unemployment in general, and in the practical part concretely - unemployment rate in the Czech Republic and Austria. Firstly, the thesis examines the theory of general concepts for getting acquainted with unemployment in an open economy, then explains different types of unemployment and the factors that cause them. Separately describes Okun's law and introduces the regression equation, which will be verified later on empirical data. Next, it will introduce to us selected econometric methods of unemployment analysis, primarily focusing on the problems of time series, with which it will work in the practical part. Particularly, it will describe general terms in econometrics, techniques of estimation of parameters for regression equation, decomposition of time series and their characteristics, use of dummy variables in econometric modeling, econometric and statistical verification of model. In the practical part empirical analysis and evaluation of the results are going to be performed - firstly, decomposition of time series and proper seasonal adjustment.,then test of time series for unit root and subsequently differentiation for detrending. As a hypothesis, some of the factors described in the theoretical part will be selected:: citizens' level of education, minimum wage, global crisis of 2008, intervention of CNB, and GDP (based on Okun's law). Regression of unemployment rate on individual factors will be run, the model also will be gradually expanded by other variables and will be tested for the unit root and heteroskedasticity. Estimates using the Generalized Least Squares method will be compared to the OLS estimates. Thesis will be summarized by conclusion of the empirical analysis.

Impact of Information Technologies on Unemployment: Spatial Analysis
Záhlava, Josef ; Cahlík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
This thesis analyses the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on unemployment in international context. The thesis summarizes the knowledge and research outcomes on the impact of ICT on the economy both on micro and macroeconomic level and deducts implications for unemployment. Moreover, the thesis assesses the impact of international economic integration on unemployment and labour market situation. Using ICT is beneficial for eco- nomic growth and labour productivity. This leads to decrease in unemploy- ment rate. The impact of ICT differs both among sectors of the economy and groups of workers by qualification. The unemployment rate is internationally autocorrelated due to international economic integration. In close countries it follows similar development. Based on empirical research of panel data of ele- ven european countries for years 1996 to 2007, international autocorrelation in unemployment rate and beneficial impact of ICT in lowering unemployment rate were confirmed. However, due to violation of necessary assumption of nor- mality, the results of MLE analysis need not be valid. This can be tackled by employing different estimation method, perhaps 2SLS. 1

Econometric analysis of marihuana seizures in selected states of the world
Zharikov, Oleksandr ; Dlouhá, Zuzana (advisor) ; Čížek, Ondřej (referee)
Nowadays the drug question is one of the most debatable problems in our society. Marijuana is the most common type of illegal drugs. The volume of confiscated marijuana is one of the most important indicators, which helps to determine the real situation on the black market of marijuana. This bachelor's thesis concerns with the econometric analysis of the most important factors influencing the volume of marijuana seizures. At the beginning, it presents the methodology later applied to the data set and variables relevant the problem. The next section is an application part where there are introduced econometric models which help to discover and quantify influences of the variables. The last part is conclusion where the results of analysis are evaluated and interpreted.

Analysis of inflation in the Czech Republic
Holakovská, Adéla ; Formánek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Dlouhá, Zuzana (referee)
This work is focused on econometric analysis of inflation in the Czech Republic, there is also reported an analysis of inflation in Austria and continuity of both countries to the dominant German economy. The inflation with its forms and possibilities of measuring is described in the first part of this work. There is also mentioned the influence of Czech national bank on the inflation. Next, there is shown the impact of foreign exchange rates and inflation. Consequently there are described characteristics of time series, which are important from viewpoint of construction of econometric models. Next, there is described theory of econometrics analysis, focused on ordinary least squares method and method of instrumental variables. The empirical part contains econometric analysis of inflation itself, using models described in theoretical part. Moreover, this work includes other models, coming out of economic hypothesis. Firstly, it analyses inflation in Germany as the reference country. Secondly, further analysis performs inflation in the Czech Republic and Austria. Finally, an analysis based on ERPT (exchange rate pass-through) models is given. In conclusion, the results are well summarized and compared.

Is a tax policy imposed on cigarettes in the context of the EU effective?
Lichterová, Markéta ; Tepperová, Jana (advisor) ; Tecl, Jan (referee)
This thesis is based on the question, whether a taxation have an effect on consumption of cigarettes. At the first there was needed to find factors which affect the cigarettes consumption. These factors are socioeconomic status of the population or using regulatory politics for tobacco products. Analysis is based on estimation econometrics model of regression analysis on panel data set. The panel data set consist from information about member states of European union for years 2003 to 2015. The goal of the thesis is to find an answer whether the tax policy of member states in according to taxation of cigarettes is effective. It means whether taxation of cigarette have an impact on cigarettes consumption. The analysis show that the explanatory variable for taxation is statistically inefficient. That say that the level of taxation does not affect the cigarettes consumption.

Econometric analysis of the prices of mobile phones
Nešpor, Radim ; Formánek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Polonyankina, Tatiana (referee)
The work deals with the econometric analysis of the prices of mobile phones based on the selected parameters. The aim of this thesis is to determine, which of the selected parameters affect the price of a new mobile phone and how they affects the price. The theoretical part deals at first with the regression model and determining statistically significant variables and significance of the model as a whole. Then I introduce different procedures for finding and selecting the best estimate for the model. In this thesis I will focus on three procedures for the selection of explanatory variables: best subset selection, forward stepwise selection and backward stepwise selection. Finally I mention the detection of multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity testing. In the second part, I apply different procedures for the selection of explanatory variables and afterwards, based on the criteria defined in the first part, I will select the best model. Finally, I compare these models and choose the best one.
