The Study Increase Productivity
Marvanová, Barbora ; MBA, Štěpán Kalita, (referee) ; Jurová, Marie (advisor)
The topic of my bachelor thesis is to increase labour productivity with the focus on development of business, particularly in IFE-CR, a.s. Theoretical part describes particular company and deals with all basic concepts, terms and theoretical methods of solving problems associated with labour productivity. Analytical part discusses method of valuation of labour productivity which is done by IFE-CR, a.s. and analysis of labour productivity from different points of view. Final part includes my own concept of possible solutions with the aim of increasing labour productivity in the company.

Using total factor productivity benchmarking in tariff regulation of network industries
Machek, Ondřej ; Hnilica, Jiří (advisor) ; Soukup, Jindřich (referee) ; Baláž, Peter (referee) ; Strachota, Luboš (referee)
Incentive regulation and benchmarking are becoming frequently used tools in tariff regulation of public utilities, including natural gas distribution companies. We present a review of existing approaches to economic regulation using benchmarking models, their advantages and disadvantages and discuss practical experience with these methods. The work also includes a comparison of the total factor produktivity (TFP) approach with frontier-based methods such as data envelopment analysis or corrected ordinary least squares and discussion of the differences, possible weaknesses and misinterpretation of results. Consequently, we analyze the development of total factor productivity of Czech natural gas distribution companies with other industries (water and sewerage, electricity distribution and transmission) using index analysis. The main outcome of the dissertation thesis is the discussion of the applicability of TFP benchmarking in the conditions of the Czech energy market, a synthesis of findings, discussion of associated issues, assumptions and recommendations for implementation of TFP benchmarking into the tariff regulation of Czech energy industries.

Measuring productivity in the enterprise and at the regional level
KUŽEL, Jiří
The aim of the Diploma´s work was to explain the concept of corporate and regional productivity and possibility of evaluation. Furthermore to analyze the development of value added on the basis of the specific enterprise data and at the regional level. The theoretical part described the concept of productivity and factors of production. Then followed a description of the business concept of productivity, the possibility of evaluation and rating of regional productivity. In the practical part was characterized selected company. Followed economic data needed to calculate productivity at the enterprise level. The productivity was significantly affected by the economic crisis of 2009. Another part of work was devoted to evaluation of regional productivity. In the last section were compared corporate productivity and regional productivity in the years 2005 - 2011. The comparison showed that labor productivity in enterprise is on a lower level than the sector average. Conversely capital productivity was higher in the enterprise. Another finding was significant annual changes in enterprise productivity compared to the relatively stable of sector development.

Total Factor Productivity Estimates
Vltavská, Kristýna ; Fischer, Jakub (advisor) ; Macek, Jan (referee) ; Čadil, Jan (referee)
The aims of the dissertation thesis are to provide the comprehensive economic-statistical viewpoint on the issue of estimating labour productivity and total factor productivity; to evaluate the quality of the available data sources and to test the usage of new inputs to the production function in the Czech Republic. The first chapter provides a theoretical basis for subsequent estimates of labour productivity and total factor productivity. The second and third chapters concentrate on a detailed definition of data sources and definitions of input and output indicators in the production function. Moreover, the second chapter introduces new approaches to the estimation of the input indicators to the production function (labour services, capital services). The fourth chapter deals with estimates of labour productivity. Specifically, the relationship of labour productivity and educational structures are examined as well as estimates for regions of the Czech Republic and estimates for non-market industry that do not allow the use of the traditional approach. The fifth chapter focuses on possible particularization and improvement of the estimation of total factor productivity using new input variables. The same chapter further compares the index number approach and econometric approach including the test of constant returns to scale. The estimation of total factor productivity in individual Czech regions is also part of the chapter.

Different approaches to calculating TFP
Zeman, Jan ; Vltavská, Kristýna (advisor) ; Sixta, Jaroslav (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with total factor productivity and ways of its calculation.The first goal is describing theoretically the principles of total factor productivity and what it reflects. Subsequently the work uses the data available to test the ways of calculation while considering the hours worked and number of employees as an input. The thesis then names the advantages and disadvantages of individual kinds of input and further shows the calculation of direct and indirect method, comparing and assessing the two methods at the end.

Estimate of Capital Services in the Czech Republic
Hudrlíková, Lenka ; Fischer, Jakub (advisor) ; Ondruš, Vítězslav (referee)
This diploma paper discusses the importance of implementation of capital into the system national accounts. The purpose of this work is an estimation of capital services for real data of the Czech Republic. Conducted its own calculation is first such comprehensive estimate of the capital services, which was made. The diploma paper is divided into three parts. In the first part there is a explaination of concept of capital services and the methods of estimation and possible ways of calculating the necessary data. In the second part there is already done my own calculations of estimate of capital services used the methodology recommended by the OECD, but subject to certain adjustments, which are better suited to national conditions. Due to the volume of data all the calculations are listed in the Annex. In the text work is illustrative example of one sector of economic activity and the economy as a whole. The last section deals with experimental estimates of impact of capital services on macroeconomic aggregates, particularly gross domestic product. Other possibilities obtained an estimate of capital services, it is possible to estimate multi-factor productivity. Capital services can be used to express the input of capital.

Dopad PZI na produktivitu -- Spillovers efekty v České republice
Lehmann, Richard ; Klosová, Anna (advisor) ; Castro, José Villaverde (referee)
This dissertation analyzes productivity changes connected with inflow of foreign direct investment. Specifically indirect effects of foreign direct investment (spillovers) on firms in the Czech Republic in period 2000 -- 2006 are analyzed. As a proxy for productivity spillovers is used total factor productivity, which is retrieved by implementing the Levinsohn -- Petrin technique, which control the simultaneity bias in the production function. Using firm-level data, obtained from Amadeus database, a significant spillovers effects of foreign direct investment on productivity were identified -- a stronger positive impact on upstream sector and weaker negative impact on downstream sector.
