Beauty as competition advantage on the labour market
Urbanová, Aneta ; Kureková, Lucie (advisor) ; Máslo, Lukáš (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate role of beauty on the labour market, mainly with emphasis on employment discrimination and gender differences. Existing approaches of economics of beauty and examples of experiments are introduced in the theoretical part as well as discrimination models and situation of labour market in the Czech Republic. The practical part is based on the research with online questionnaire survey. The variable of beauty consists of respondent´s self-evaluation, panel evaluation and BMI, statistically set up by summation. The verification of 7 outlined hypothesis are done through the Spearman´s rank correlation coefficient and so various aspects of beauty reward are analysed. The relation between attractiveness and wage, job finding rate, career growth rate and favouring of women with men superior was confirmed. Despite the insufficient survey sample size, which brought rather indicative results, it is possible to conclude that in the examined area with economic graduates the discrimination due to physical attractiveness is realized. Moreover, respondents stated that they consider physical appearance an important factor of success at selection procedure, so they themselves ascribe it significant value in this respect.

Frank, Daniel ; Bíza Bisová, Sára (advisor) ; Čermáková, Klára (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the effect of body height on wages of men and women in Czech Republic. I construct regression models using data gathered by survey in Prague and Zlin. Parameters of these models are estimated by using ordinary least squares method and also two-stage least squares method including instrumental variables. Because of large differences of locations I decided to examine mentioned cities separately. Research reveals the significance of the main explanatory variable only at model studying Zlin utilizing ordinary least squares method. An increase in human height by a centimeter is associated with a growth of his/her wage by 0.65 % on average.

Mikulková, Kateřina ; Mičúch, Marek (advisor) ; Svoboda, Miroslav (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the relationship between BMI and wages against women and men in the Czech republic. Some previous researches, which are focused on this topic agree, that there exist negative correlation between growing BMI and wages of women, but men neither. Tested hypothesis of this research is that, if BMI of women grows, it leads to decline in their wages. Second tested hypothesis is, if BMI of men grows, it doesn't lead to decline in their wages. Using regression analysis and ordinary least squares method, it is revealed, that there is no statistically significant effect of BMI on wages against people in the Czech republic.

Do above-looking people really earn more, ceteris paribus, than the average-looking people, and vice versa below-people people are penalized for their beauty as opposed to average-looking people?
