The Aspects of Collaborative Procurement: Centralization, Scope and Different Market Structures
Počarovská, Amália ; Gutiérrez Chvalkovská, Jana (advisor) ; Skuhrovec, Jiří (referee)
Procurement centralization is a process that includes policy decisions on the appropriate level of collaboration, aggregation and standardization. We analyse the main aspects of collaborative procurement: centralization, scope and different market structures. We use a unique dataset that combines Czech tender-level data with the manually-collected data on centrally procured tenders and financial firm-level data for the time span 2008 - 2016. We apply vector generalized linear model to the compulsory centralized procurement sectors and assess the market competition and concentration. We find several key aspects of centralized procurement: the centralization has a significant positive impact on the competition in selected sectors. The framework agreement is recognized as a positive setup of public procurement. We identified a strong negative evidence of the heterogeneity of the procured commodity. The design of centralization process and the degree of centralization is always bound by two elementary questions: the flexibility or unification trade-off and the set-up costs or unit costs trade-off. JEL Classification D44, H11, H57 Keywords public procurement, centralization, tender- level data, firm-level data, market structure, concentration index, vector generalized linear model, Herfindahl-Hirschman...

Analysis of the Natural Gas Market during the Period of Deregulation - A Comparison of Selected European Countries
Mirková, Barbora ; Mikolášek, Jakub (advisor) ; Princ, Michael (referee)
The liberalization of gas markets is in the European Union and especially in its new Member States a current topic. This thesis is devoted to a comparison of the liberalization processes in three Central European countries - the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. The thesis first introduces the concepts of public and natural monopolies, the specific characteristics of gas markets and the legislation of the European Union that underlies the liberalization. Further, the thesis takes a close look at the developments in the gas markets of the three countries. The focus lies mainly on the national legislation, opening of demand side and changes in the market structure, including unbundling, new entrants and supplier switching. The final chapter of the thesis analyzes and compares the progress in liberalization of the individual markets by calculating the market concentrations using the Herfindahl-Hirschman index.

The Analysis of Oligopolistic Structure on the Czech Audit Market
Šindelář, Michal ; Müllerová, Libuše (advisor) ; Králíček, Vladimír (referee) ; Vyleťalová, Květoslava (referee)
The dissertation thesis is processed in the form of a set of original and published articles with specific results from the methodologically or thematically related areas. The aim of the dissertation is to obtain information about the audit market in the Czech Republic from the point of view of oligopolistic structure and to compare the results with an international research in this area. The issue of the audit market was not a frequent subject of academic analyses in the Czech Republic, therefore the dissertation tries to fill this gap. The oligopolistic structure interferes audit in several risk areas. It threatens the independence of the auditor in the context of the simultaneous provision of audit and non-audit services. The existence of a high market concentration may also indicate negative impacts on the overall quality of the audits performed. The main contribution of the work lies in the analysis of the market concentration on the data of the Czech Republic. The dissertation as a whole analyses the Czech audit market between the years 2010-2015 and presents a view of academic research on market concentration in the Czech Republic. In terms of data source, the dissertation deals with areas of higher social importance, i.e. areas of public interest entities respectively listed companies, which is also typical for international research. Therefore, the conclusions of the dissertation cannot be generalized to the field of the audit market represented by companies that are not public interest entities. From the methodological point of view, the dissertation in its analytical part is based mainly on internationally recognized statistical methods for measuring market concentration, namely the concentration ratio and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index. The most important conclusion is the finding that there is a comparable level of market concentration in the Czech audit market with large audit markets. The analysis shows that Big 4 firms occupy approximately 85% of the audit market and this share remains unchanged between the years 2011-2014.

Andrianova, Anna ; Dvořák, Petr (advisor) ; Galuška, Jiří (referee)
In my thesis I analyse the development of the banking system of Ukraine and the assessment of the concentration level of the banking system in conditions of crisis 2014-2015. The theoretical part is devoted to classification and causes of the banking crisis; also, it describes the historical aspects of crisis formation in Ukraine. The practical part is focused on the evaluation of the financial security level and macroeconomic situation in Ukraine. This part emphasises problems and the specifics of functioning of domestic banks. In addition, it considers the concentration level of the banking market. The analysis performed shows that the banking crisis is the result of accumulated macroeconomic imbalances of the past and present mistakes in the implementation of anti-crisis policy. Currently the efficient functioning of most domestic banks remains at insufficient level.

Analysis of the market concentration in public procurement markets
Kolorosová, Barbora ; Pavel, Jan (advisor) ; Dufek, Luboš (referee)
This master thesis is focused on the market concentration in six sectors of public procurements in the Czech Republic, and the relationship between level of market concentration, profitability of the companies, final price and number of bids. The analyzed procurements refer to food industry, electricity, postal and telecommunications services, solar energy, IT and automotive sector from period of 2007-2010. Concentration ratio, Herfindahl-Hirschman index and Gini coefficient were used to quantify market concentration. The first four of above mentioned public procurement markets seem to be highly concentrated according to these indicators; the remaining two cases are unconcentrated or moderately concentrated. Correlation analysis was used for each sector. The analyzed variables were: market shares of the companies, their profitability, average number of bids and average proportion of the final and expected price in tenders which the company won. Further, the relationship between market concentration indicators and average variables for the relevant sectors was assessed.

Phones Czech consumers expensively? Market analysis of mobile operators in the Czech Republic.
Masák, Tomáš ; Hudík, Marek (advisor) ; Zemplinerová, Alena (referee)
This thesis will examine whether the price level on the market of mobile services in comparison with other countries is high or not. After performing own international price comparison which revealed high price level in both analyzed consumer baskets thesis offers some possible options which could lead to the current high price level on the market. The observed high market concentration is one of the possible solutions and leads to discover several solutions whose analysis shows that high price level in the Czech mobile services market cannot be associated with only one factor. The price level is mainly affected by the absence of more operators which can be partly attributed to the insufficient steps of market regulator - ČTÚ especially in the area of termination fees and lease licenses to operating in mobile networks. Both of these steps are also very important for the future development of the market.
