Jeřábková, Lucie ; Regnerová, Olga (advisor) ; Zdeněk, Zdeněk (referee)
The bachelor thesis called Market development and trade of cocoa is focused on evaluation and development of an international cocoa trade. In the thesis there is also discribed the trade with a fair trade cocoa and other commodities that are produced from it. This work is divided into two parts, the theoretical one where I focused on cocoa as commodity itself, then on organisastions such as Fair Trade and WTO and international trade of historical development of consumption of this commodity. The practical part of this task is focused on fluctuations of the cooca prices in time horizon where this part is focusing especially on selected developing countries. Last but not least the thesis deals with trade of this commodity and its own production development.

Konečná, Michaela
The aim of this thesis is the identification of main factors that determines the structure and character of international trade with goods among China and se-lected countries of the European Union which are Czech republic, Kingdom of the Netherlands and Kingdom of Sweden. The introductory part describes various rea-sons that make countries participate in international trade and describes factors that influence the trade. Subsequently, the paper is focused on analysis of com-modity structure of trade of the mentioned countries and factor intensity analysis. Based on the results of these analysis the main factors that determine the bilateral flow of goods between China and each one of the selected countries, are identified. As a result of this paper we can conclude that the main factors that determine the trade are comparative advantages of the countries. We can distinguish between qualitative comparative advantage that is typical for countries of the European union or cost-based comparative advantage typical for China.

Econometric Analysis of the Main Determinants of Austrian Foreign Trade
Davidová, Lucie ; Sedláček, Jiří (advisor) ; Chrobok, Viktor (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the main determinants of Austrian imports by estimating the import function. The analysis of the data from 1995--2011 implies great openness of the economy, strong orientation at machinery industry, Germany (40 %) and other EU-countries (other 35 %). I have employed a linear log-log model estimated by OLS. Consequently, I have obtained a triple of estimated import functions -- a general one, one for year 2011 in particular, and the last one for the top ten Austrian importers. There is a significant positive impact of partner's GDP (0.81--1.42), common language (1.1--2.3) and contiguity (0.4--2.7). On contrary, we observe an inverse relationship of imports with distance (0.9--1.1) and trade barriers (0.3--0.8). Considering similarities between Austrian and Czech economies, we can deduct similar implications for economic and trade policies.
