Battery storage with second life cycle batteries
Král, Dominik ; Pazdera, Ivo (referee) ; Procházka, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with problems related to the solution of energy storage. It deals with the analysis of used types of accumulators, deals with their advantages, disadvantages, on what principle they work. It focuses on the possibilities and problems of using batteries in the "Second life" mode. It presents the subsequent process of preparing batteries for further application and defines the tests necessary to evaluate the condition of batteries before further use. Finally, the actual energy storage designs and the block topology of the energy storage are presented.
Corporate Social Responsibility and tax haven use: Evidence from the Central and Eastern Europe
Sovičová, Veronika ; Doležalová, Antonie (advisor) ; Janský, Petr (referee)
The notion that businesses have certain responsibilities towards the society beyond the profit maximizing principle known as the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been devoted increasing attention in the academic field. Prior literature has found a link between firms' CSR engagement and the use of tax havens, which are generally known for offering some form of preferential tax treatment. The aim of this thesis is to examine this relationship in the context of the Central and Eastern European countries. To perform the analysis, we collected data on 79 unique Central and Eastern European firms from 11 countries for the year 2020. Employing the ordered logistic regression methodology with CSR performance as categorical response variable and a tax haven user dummy as the main dependent variable of interest, we discovered that there is a significant relationship between CSR and tax haven use. It can be thus claimed that CSR has already developed sufficiently for such relationship to emerge in the post- communist region. Moreover, we find that this relationship is negative. This would suggest that the probability of being socially responsible is lower in tax haven using firms. Specifically, we provide evidence that tax haven using firms are more than 60% less likely to have higher CSR score. Our...
