Zhang, Yueyue ; Šťastná, Lenka (advisor) ; Semerák, Vilém (referee)
Using the quarterly and monthly data of ten representative cities in China from December 2000 to June 2021, this thesis describes the impact of COVID-19 on the urban economy, import and export, and quantifies the impact degree by panel data regression analysis. To explore the relationship between the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and urban categories, we distinguished different types of cities. The results show that COVID-19 has the most profound impact on coastal towns, followed by megacities. It is mainly due to the excessive dependence of coastal towns on import and export trade. We also understand the lagging effect of the pandemic on the economy by adding dummy variables representing the SARS pandemic. Facts have proved that while formulating related policies, the government has to consider the lagging effects of the impact of the pandemic on the economy.

Ženy v péči o děti : plná rodičovská dovolená nebo dřívější návrat do práce
Tubert, Anna ; Šestořád, Tomáš (advisor) ; Čermáková, Klára (referee)
This thesis focuses on the factual time spent by Czech and Russian mothers on maternity and parental leaves, and analyses factors leading women for certain decision-making about the length of leave. In the following work, I analyse cross-sectional data portraying responses of a questionnaire filled up by 106 Russian and 102 Czech mothers. Theoretical approach on similarities and differences of attitude towards womens role in modern society between the two countries shows, that social and economic status of the family is the main determinant of the length of parental leave. Econometric analysis conducted in my work highlights, that willingness to stay with a child is the main motive to prolong parental leave for women from both countries. Greater importance placed on the supply of preschool facilities reduces the time spent on parental leave. Both Czech and Russian governments can affect the factual length of parental leave by regulating the supply of part-time job and the supply of preschool facilities, therefore, government is a significant regulator of the total time spent on parental leave.
