Car demand modelling in the Czech Republic
Rückl, Adam ; Pertold-Gebicka, Barbara (advisor) ; Čech, František (referee)
The main purpose of this thesis is to construct a model of passenger cars demand and estimate it using data on new car registrations from the Czech Republic. The constructed model takes into account factors affecting not only the demand, but also the supply, as both of these variables form a simultaneous equations system. In order to estimate the model consistently, the econometric theory of simultaneous equations model is presented. At first the basic notations are introduced, the inconsistency of ordinary least squares estimates is proved and consistent methods of estimation are described, notably the two stage least squares and the indirect least squares methods. Observation of the data suggests that new passenger cars registrations in the Czech Republic were influenced by a specific taxation policy, which up to April 2009 did not allow the value added tax deduction in case of passenger cars. A large proportion of passenger cars were therefore registered as light utility vehicles. This fact has to be taken into account when studying the passenger cars demand. Results of the estimation by the two stage least squares method showed that the demand for new passenger in the Czech Republic is elastic in price and income. Significant sensitivity of the demand was observed also with respect to used cars...

Faktory ovlivňující poptávku po osobních automobilech v ČR
ČURILLOVÁ, Michaela
The bachelor thesis investigates factors which influence the demand for passenger cars in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part of this work is focused on basic terms and determinants which are important for the demand. Further it describes particular statistical methods, which are used for the analysis. The practical part contains the introduction to the automotive industry and the description of specific attributes of the demand for passenger cars. This part analyses factors which may have an effect on the demand for passenger cars in the Czech Republic. The main factors and the dependence are explained by applying econometric methods. Analyzing reveals these important factors: number of registrations of passenger cars, consumer prices of new and used passenger cars, consumer prices of fuel, population and income.The conclusion contains the summary of impacts on the specific demand.

Vaniš, Miloš ; Ševčík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Řežábek, Pavel (referee)
The goal of this diploma thesis is analysis impacts of business cycle on automotive industry in the Czech Republic in 2006-2011 with exclusive focusing on passenger cars. Impacts of business cycle on automotive industry in the Czech Republic are researched on domestic demand development for new passenger cars and on production, domestic sales and export of the three biggest czech automobile producers. Impacts of business cycle on domestic demand for new passenger cars are analyzed with helping numbers of first registrations in the concrete car segments. Development of czech demand for new cars and automotive production in 2006-2011 is compared to demand and passenger cars production development in Germany, Japan and in the USA. The analysis shows that czech demand for new cars was influenced by economic situation in the Czech Republic in 2006-2011. Influence of czech business cycle on automotive production in the Czech Republic was much smaller than influence of business cycle on czech demand for new passenger cars in 2006-2011.

Conditions for implementation of alternative fuel technologies in passenger cars on the Czech market
Holeček, Petr ; Mejdrech, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Kudláková, Martina (referee)
The thesis topic is creating conditions for successful implementation of alternative fuel technologies in passenger cars on the Czech market. Its goal is to develop a comprehensive concept of proposed measures that would create demand for alternative powertrain. It analyzes current situation of the environmental-friendly vehicles market and examines reasons why consumers have not been purposefully searching for these cars so far. The thesis consists of several coherent blocks. The first one deals with general aspects of innovations and development, energy resources, climate protection and car fleet in the Czech Republic. The second part focuses on new alternative technologies from the viewpoint of energy resources and examines the offer on the local market. The third section includes a consumer research focused on information related to potential customers' preferences and compares economic efficiency and costs of selected technologies. The final part presents proposed ways of accomplishing the main goal, while special attention is given to specific recommendations, which would help to create demand and facilitate promotion among consumers.

Analysis of the implementation of scrapping scheme from the perspective of sustainable development
Balounová, Veronika ; Geuss, Erik (advisor) ; Branžovský, Antonín (referee)
The theme of the thesis is scrapping scheme, which was in the Czech Republic during years 2009 and 2010 very discussed and that was despite government meetings stretching over a year finally unloaded. The work collect a large amount of information about scrapping schemes, a state contribution on the disposal of car wrecks, mainly about its implementation in several countries, the subsequent tract and analysis of resulting impacts. Based on experience from other countries with an already undertaken scrapping programs are identified potential impacts that could have a scrapping scheme in the case of implementation in the Czech Republic in the future. The work is also examining the effectiveness of Czech government finance earmarked for scrapping scheme. The main goal of the thesis is to answer the question whether the implementation of scrapping scheme in the Czech Republic would be an appropriate anti-crisis tool.
