Loboda, Aleksandra ; Romancov, Michael (advisor) ; Aslan, Emil (referee)
This thesis will analyze the economic and political prospects of Kyrgyzstan based on the geopolitics of the country. This thesis will provide data on Kyrgyzstan's political, economic, and diplomatic relations over the past thirty years with the following countries: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, China, Russia, and the United States. Imports and exports between the countries will also be provided and analyzed in the second half of the paper. Using the method of comparing qualitative and quantitative data, conclusions will be drawn as to which direction Kyrgyzstan should take as a small developing country. It is not about minute-by-minute actions, but rather long-term actions that will have a tremendous weight on the economic development of the country in the future. The paper essentially comes to the conclusion that the best development for Kyrgyzstan will be if the country manages to reduce its dependence on Russia and explore other trade routes and other trade partners.

Furthermore, the works of ancient historians are used to obtain more precise context in the terms of geography and economy. Thesis will compare the development of the maritime trade and the trade using the overland routes, especially so-called Silk Road.

Gravity Models Enlarged by Institutional Factors
Benešová, Šárka ; Benáček, Vladimír (advisor) ; Babin, Adrian (referee)
This thesis focuses on the gravity model of international trade that is enlarged by institutional factors. The aim is to concentrate on behaviour of Swiss exporter, based on cross-sectional and time series panel dataset. Swiss former foreign trade is analysed for this purpose. Afterwards, institutional factors are discussed in the first part of the thesis, how they can influence international trade and how they are affected by liberalisation. Further, the gravity model of international trade and development of the model is introduced. Second part of the thesis concentrates on the estimation of the gravity model for Swiss export by fixed and random effects. It was found out that institutional factors have impact on Swiss exports, especially from the static perspective while the subjects between countries are discriminated, which is modelled using cross-sectional data specification. The role of institutions substantially decreases in dynamic point of view.

Use of an X - ray fluorescence analysis for the ceramics of the La Tene period
KREJČÍ, Radim
In my bachelor thesis I try to clarify aspects of the use of an x-ray fluorescence analysis method in the study of a composition of the ceramics and its provenance. I try to gather information about this method, as well as its pluses and minuses, by means of study of domestic and especially international publications and projects dealing with this topic. Knowledge acquired is then used in the research during which I analyse chemical composition of South Bohemian ceramic with graphite admixture from the La Tene period and I try to discover its differences and thanks to that determine potential imports.

Russian Federation and its position on the global natural gas market
Dlouhý, Petr ; Müller, Štěpán (advisor) ; Taušer, Josef (referee)
The bachelor work deals with the world gas market and its development since 2000 focusing on the Russian Federation's standings on this market. The analysis of the role of Russia in the world trade in natural gas is based on a set of data containing world reserves, production and consumption volumes information as well as the main trade flows among the major exporters and importers of this commodity. Very important part of the analysis is mapping of the Russian gas sector and its corporate and political background. The so called shale revolution is also taken into account. Shale gas is about to have an impact on some of the world's commodity markets. The main goal of this work is to assess the position of the Russian Federation on gas market between 2000 and 2012 and then to predict how much and under which circumstances may the position of this country on the gas market shift.

The econometric analysis of demand function for sugar imports to the CR in 1996-2010
Dvořáková, Lucie ; Dočkal, Dalibor (advisor) ; Řežábek, Pavel (referee)
At the turn of the 19th and 20th century, the Czech countries could boast a flourishing sugar industry. The share of the Czech countries in the European sugar exports reached to 57%. However, over time this important position on the sugar market have disappeared, and demand for imports of this commodity in the Czech Republic started to grow. The goal of this paper is to analyse the demand function for sugar import in the years 1996-2010, try to find factors that it could effect in the chosen period of time and determine their intensity. The method of examination is to set up a simple model and the subsequent implementation of regression and correlation analysis to determine the level of dependence of demand functions on individual factors. The conclusion summarizes the partial results of the analysis and proposes other possible variables that could be incorporated into the model.
