Theoretical and methodological approaches to determining the macroeconomic contribution of primary prevention and health promotion
Voleman, Jakub ; Chytil, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Kovanda, Lukáš (referee)
Health is one of the most important things in human life and it also deeply affects its quality. Health prevention and promotion is fundamental both for individuals and the whole society. This thesis analyses the economic approaches to health prevention and promotion. The main aim of this thesis is the analysis of health promotion with respect to colorectal cancer. However, this is not a standard effectiveness analysis but the analysis of the future development in unique Czech environment. According to Czech demographic trends and based on incidence and mortality predictive ARIMA models for colorectal cancer, this work quantifies the increasing costs related to this disease treatment in 2024 and 2028. Also, it makes recommendations on possible spending on possible prevention related to this disease.

Time series analysis of precipitations in the selected area
MÁCHA, Vít
Diploma thesis extends my Bachelor´s thesis, which was about methods of time distribution of precipitations and differences in that distribution within a small area. The first part of the paper describes the formation and distribution of precipitation, typical variation of precipitation and some characteristics, revealing and describing the behaviour of rainfall in a given station. Following part describes possible methods of evaluation of time distribution. Statistical methods are presented mainly here. Here described methods and evaluations are subsequently applied in time series of daily precipitations, which has been available for this work for the Jenin creek basin. The analysis is focused on characteristics and evaluation of rainfall between terms 1980 - 1988 and 2005 - 2013. The results show us some differences between terms in rainfall characteristics. However, mostly they are not statistically significant. The work also evaluates differences in rainfall totals between rainfall stations Jenín and Dolní Dvořiště (approximate distance of the stations is 4 km) in 2005 - 2013 term. During the evaluation it comes to differences in rainfall totals. They are highly variable and they don´t have neither constant direction nor size.

Report on the situation on the Czech capital market 2005
Česká národní banka
Tato zpráva pojednává o situaci na českém kapitálovém trhu za rok 2005 a detailně rozebírá jeho vliv na jednotlivé sektory. Rok 2005 byl pro český kapitálový trh příznivý. Na jeho vývoj měly vliv dobré výsledky domácí ekonomiky i její nejbližší výhled. Pozitivně působily solidní hospodářské výsledky nejvýznamnějších obchodovaných společností, včetně zpráv o jejich akvizičních aktivitách či záměrech. Akciové indexy proto pokračovaly převážnou část roku v růstovém trendu a dosahovaly svých historických maxim. Pro trh byla též přínosem absence výrazných hrozeb v regionálním i globálním měřítku a relativní stabilita celoevropského prostředí. Přetrvávajícím negativním jevem na tuzemském trhu zůstal nadále nízký počet atraktivních veřejně obchodovaných titulů.

Economic research bulletin (2008, No.1)
Česká národní banka
The CNB has been targeting inflation for ten years now. We have decided to take this opportunity to present recent CNB research related to the inflation targeting strategy. The first two articles contribute to the discussion about how the inflation targeting strategy should be evaluated. They both point out that it is not enough simply to count how many times inflation was on target. One alternative way of measuring the success of the strategy is suggested in the first article. Partial simulations with the forecast model can help us understand the reasons for deviations of inflation from the target. Another alternative is proposed in the second article, which emphasises that success is conditional on transparent and consistent communication of inflation factors. The next two articles focus on one of the most prominent features of the inflation process – persistence – and its implications for the inflation targeting strategy. They both find that inflation persistence may be lower in the Czech case than one might expect. The third article – based on microeconomic data – provides evidence that inflation persistence has declined during the ten years of inflation targeting. The fourth article – based on macroeconomic data – estimates the level of the inflation target perceived by the public and illustrates that the strategy has gained credibility and has managed to stabilise perceived inflation at low levels.
