Support of the Sharing Economy in France and Germany.
OSNABRÜGGE, Johanna
The Sharing Economy represents a rapidly growing sector in the global economy, with companies such as Foodsharing and Blablacar becoming household names from Germany and France. This growth has been driven by entrepreneurs who have seen opportunities to leverage technology to create value for customers, while also transforming traditional business models. However, despite the potential of these companies to drive sustainable consumption and reduce waste, they face significant challenges in terms of regulation, funding, and support infrastructure. This master thesis aims to explore the support available to founders of Sharing Economy companies in France and Germany. This thesis will examine the regulatory frameworks, funding opportunities, support instances, and challenges that impact the founding process of Sharing Economy startups.

Municipal Waste Management and Analysis of Influencing Factors with respect to Municipal Solid Waste Generation
Kmeťková, Diana ; Cahlík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kopečná, Vědunka (referee)
This thesis presents the topic of municipal waste management in the Czech Republic and describes the current trends within this area. We analyse the data on the generation and treatment of municipal solid waste in the Czech Republic and then we compare several waste indicators in the EU countries. The main goal of the thesis is to describe the relationship between municipal solid waste generation (MSW) and socio-economic factors. In order to identify the variables that might have a significant impact on the generation of MSW, we carry out a panel data regression using data from 28 EU countries over a time period from 1995 to 2017. We present four model specifications that were created based on the studied research articles. Our findings suggest that GDP and income have a significant positive impact on MSW generation, which is in accordance with the majority of research works. On the other hand, two other significant variables, population and density, are estimated to be negatively related to MSW production. Moreover, urbanization and unemployment rate result to be insignificant. 1
