Local Development and Policies of Protectionism
Bělohradský, Aleš ; Benáček, Vladimír (advisor) ; Želinský, Tomáš (referee)
Economic situation in the Central Europe is to a big extent influenced by the disparities between core regions (mostly the capitals) and the rest. If the gap between cores and peripheries is still widening, local governments of peripheral regions must come up with policies to protect their economies from the globalised world. This basic statement is examined in this work using two different methods: regionalised input-output analysis (for Czech regions) trying to discover structural differences between regions and its implications, and NEG equilibrium simulation method examining agglomeration forces in the Central Europe and evaluating possible outcomes of protective policies in terms of NTBs (limiting the openness). The results confirm the agglomeration tendencies and suggest mainly two ways of effective policies: regional specialisation and investments into infrastructure, which would lower the transaction costs within the peripheral regions. NEG simulation method has serious limits due to the problematic calibration. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Regional conceptions of family policies through the theory of social construction of target populations
Braun, Vojtěch ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Jelínková, Marie (referee)
This work focuses on concepts of family policy on a regional level. Regions are the connecting link between the county level and the state level and have numerous instruments to support families or other social groups within their territory. While on the county level family policy doesn't get much attention, mostly due to lower personal, administrative or financial capacity, regions prepare detailed and wide concepts of family and social policy, in which they outline goals and aspirations, as well as instruments and ways in which to achieve them during a predetermined period. These instruments aim at different target populations. This work will be primarily focusing on the research of these target populations, which will then be analysed through the theory of social constructions of target populations, which was initially developed in 1993 by professors Anne Schneider and Helen Ingram. This theory dwells deeper when it comes to definitions of target populations and divides populations according to their definition, which can be positive or negative, and by their political power, which can be strong or weak. Looking at the numbers of instruments, their character and searching for a reason for this state of affairs, as well as applying the theory of social constructions of target populations, will lead to the...

Česko-bavorské vztahy v oblasti regionálního rozvoje po roce 1990
Křížová, Diana
This thesis deals with the relations between the Czech Republic and the Land of Bavaria on a bilateral and multilateral level and regional cooperation dated from 1990 to the present. The aim is to carry out an analysis in the bilateral relations and contacts between the Czech Republic and Bavaria and to perform a content analysis of the documents and the development of cross-border cooperation in the selected regions. The important part of the work is the comparison of the area and its historical development, the importance of mutual agreements and profile tools for cooperation. The development of Czech-Bavarian relations is then discussed with regard to the role of the European Union and with a view of possible future solutions to a more effective cooperation.

Konvergence krajů České republiky pod vlivem ekonomické krize
Koutný, Jan
This diploma thesis examines the influence of the economic crisis from 2008-2009 on the convergence of the regions of the Czech Republic defined at NUTS 3 level. Trends in region convergence are identified based on the beta convergence and sigma convergence analysis using panel data from 2002-2015. Subsequently are discussed the reasons for the observed differences and the consequences of unequal economic development in the regions for private companies that are located or are operating in the regions.

Correlation between benzodiazepines use and quality of life in regions of the Czech Republic
Brožková, Lenka ; Chomynová, Pavla (advisor) ; Šťastná, Lenka (referee)
The objective of this study is to explore and describe current use of benzodiazepines in the Czech Republic and to identify possible correlation with quality of life in particular regions. Benzodiazepines are widely prescribed for a variety of conditions: anxiety and insomnia in particular. Benzodiazepine addiction is often latent and therefore doesn't cause social segregation as psychoactive drugs and alcohol abuse. Environment in which people live significantly impacts our psychological state. The question is how significant the influence of quality of the environment on the general wellbeing is and how is it reflected on the use of benzodiazepines. These questions were answered by analysing results of the research carried on by National Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Addiction in 2016. The Centre conducted a survey with 3601 respondents in order to gain more understanding about use of benzodiazepines, excessive playing of video games and gambling in the Czech regions. Analysis of the responses reveals that medications used to treat insomnia and anxiety disorder (benzodiazepines included) are used mostly by people living in major cities. The lowest prevalence of benzodiazepine use is in small towns and villages. Benzodiazepines are still the most frequently prescribed group of medications used...

Analysis of Unemployment in Russia: Spatial Analysis on Russian Regions
Provazník, Jan ; Cahlík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bezhanishvili, Levan (referee)
This thesis analyses the regional labor markets of Russian Federation in terms of unemployment and Okun's law. Using Hodrick-Prescott filter, the potential GRP and natural rate of unemployment are calculated in order to be used for the estimation of Okun's law coefficient (OLC). The analysis reveals variation in OLC between regions as well as significant spatial correlation thereof (measured by Moran's I). For the examination of Okun's convergence, a new method is developed which consists in estimating a time trend in R-squared obtained by estimating Okun's law cross-sectionally, separately for each year. The results indicate that there is no regional Okun's convergence in Russia.
