The corruption rate in the Czech Republic: Government's political solutions in 2010-2017
Uchytilová, Gabriela ; Švec, Kamil (advisor) ; Šárovec, Daniel (referee)

During years 2010-2017 there were four governments in the Czech Republic, including two caretaker ones. Jan Fischer's government did not explicitly determine anti-corruption policy objectives, so they acted according to current need. Caretaker government of Jiří Rusnok acted similarly, because in addition this cabinet lost vote of confidence in the Chamber of Deputies. In contrast to it, the government of Petr Nečas called itself "A Coalition of Budgetary Responsibility, the Rule of Law and the Fight against Corruption".

The causes of economic immigration from eastern to western European Union
Gasper, Radoslav ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
The main objective of this thesis is to test the hypothesis that the most important determinant of economic migration from Eastern EU to the three representative countries of Western part of the EU is particularly income differences. Three regression models are provided in the thesis for Germany, Sweden and Italy. All three models are estimated by the method of fixed effects. In models are used other variables such as difference in unemployment rate, or the difference in the corruption perception and more. Models for Germany and Sweden are estimated on data from the years 2004 to 2013 where the main area of focus is the immigration from the EU8 states. Model for Italy is estimated on data from the years 2007 to 2013. Eight countries in this model are still included, but also Bulgaria and Romania are added. All three models demonstrate the significance of the income differences on the basis of which it confirmed my hypothesis

Every vote counts: evidence on corruption culture peer effects from representatives' voting attendance
Lichard, Tomáš ; Žúdel, Branislav
In this paper we study the effect of peers and culture on corrupt behavior. We use the European Parliament (EP) as a natural laboratory, as Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) face the same institutional setting, however they differ in corruption culture due to different nationalities. The research question is whether and to what extent the corrupt behavior among MEPs from old EU member states changes after they interact with the MEPs from new EU member states who entered the European Parliament in 2004. We study this question by analyzing the patterns of shirking behavior, as MEPs recieve a per diem compensation for every day she signs the attendance sheet.
