Demand for cinemas - what determines the consumer behaviour?
Řeháková, Petra ; Mičúch, Marek (advisor) ; Kovanda, Lukáš (referee)
The main aim of this diploma thesis is to identify the determinants of behavior of demand for multiplexes in Prague. The main building material is the dataset of attendance and revenues evolution for individual movies distributed between years 2002 and 2011, always for the first four weeks from the premiere, provided by the Union of Film Distributors. The paper investigates consumer behavior on the movie market. The demand for movies is the dependent variable measured by the number of visitors in the corresponding weeks. The subject of analysis -- explanatory variable - is price, film rating (critics), genre, country of origin, character of time frame, frequency of screenings in a given week, format (2D/3D), length of movie, popularity of the actor/director, impact of movie series etc. The data are exposed to the regression according to which the significance of different variables is tested. The hypothesis about strong negative correlation of the price and quantity demanded is investigated based on the results, (Dewenter R., Westermann M., 2005) versus the hypothesis of weak sensitivity those two variables (Sangho Kim, 2009) against a more significant relationship of demand and other determinants. The influence of price on attendance has shown to be insignificant on the Prague movie market in the short term. A significant determinant impacting the attendance for a movie in the entire monitored period is the film rating, actor, length of movie, and number of screenings.

Trust in Economics
Priesemeister, Juliane ; Dlouhý, Martin (advisor) ; Fíglová, Zuzana (referee)
In the ongoing debates about the reasons and impacts of the financial crisis 2008, trust is supposed to play a relevant role. Unaware of this future happening the economic researchers Paul J. Zak and Stephen Knack published a paper in the late 90's, where they tried to find a correlation between economic growth and trust. Their applied model proved that there is a connection between the level of confidence and the economic wellbeing, represented by GDP growth. If this is still the case, after the dramatic damages of the worlds financial systems, and if the model is adoptable to prove again the correlation with today's data, is the content of this thesis. With the help of a regression calculation not all the findings of Zak and Knack could be confirmed. Some show an opposite development, some have still the same impact and others are not statistical significant. But nevertheless it demonstrates that trust, and its determinants, are correlated to the economic progress of a country. Moreover is proved that trust can be influenced - negatively, by high degree of inequality, and positively, with a low degree of bribery and economic discrimination.

The car industry in the Czech Republic is one of the most important manufacturing industries. It employs a vast number of people and it also creates a relatively significant part of the Czech gross domestic product and the Czech export. Regarding its importance in the Czech economy, this article tries to identify and explain factors determining the number of cars in the economy. In order to achieve it, a regression function is modeled using several variables. The basic variables as income, car prices, substitutes as public transportation, complements as fuel or roads are incorporated in the function as well as other determinants.

Slovania and Slovakia - Analysis of entry to the eurozone with focus on price level
Kadlec, Martin ; Maleček, Petr (advisor) ; Bydžovský, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis is concerned with the price level and its progress after entry to the eurozone. In each country entry into the eurozone is linked with the concerns about spontaneous price increase. This thesis discusses whether this concern is justified and tries to quantify any price increase associated with entry to the monetary union. It maps the preparation and accession of the two countries of post-Communist bloc, Slovania and Slovakia, into the eurozone and analyzes the particular steps, which both countries were using to avoid the spontaneous price increase. Then, the thesis quantifies the impact of the monetary union to the countries price level using a linear regression model built on the basis of time series. In the end, the thesis comes to a finding, that there is no sense to be extremely concerned about the entry to the eurozone.
