Game of Social Status
Bečková, Tereza ; Špecián, Petr (advisor) ; Chytilová, Helena (referee)
This thesis points out that economic agents preferences can be dependent on the future utility and that economic agents can achieve higher social status and prestige with the conspicuous demonstrative consumption. I label this behavior as the game of social status. Some companies even adjust their production to this phenomenon as they produce quiet and loud goods or as they lower their production. This thesis also suggests that the conspicuous demonstrative consumption and positional externalities may be affected by race, age or social interactions. It also shows that these phenomena are not rich countries exclusive but they also appear in poor countries of Asian and African continent. Positional externalities can be theoretically removed by the nonexistence of volatility in fashion trends, by the application Coase theorem or by law restrictions and taxation of the incomes or consumption.

The change of toll taxes and their implications in Czech Republic
Čížková, Michaela ; Rod, Aleš (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the changes of toll taxes and their implication in the Czech Republic between years 2007 -- 2015. The research was done using a dynamic regression analysis of monthly data provided by the web portal MYTO CZ. Based on the available data it was shown that the increase in average prices of toll transactions of ecologically unfavorable EURO groups leads to a decline in the share of total realized transactions. As a result carriers are most likely motivated to vehicle fleet renewal, which is reflected in the increase in the share of cars with lower environmental load.
