Does Czech Republic need a carbon tax?
Večeř, Marek ; Špecián, Petr (advisor) ; Máslo, Lukáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with a concept of a carbon tax. It presents the theoretical working of the carbon tax, estimates of the tax rate, possible impacts on the economy and comparison to potential alternatives. In the empirical part of the thesis, there is, based on panel data, analyzed the effect of the size of the carbon tax rate on the amount of emissions of CO2 in selected OECD countries. Results of regression analysis indicate that every increase in the carbon tax rate by $1 per tonne of CO2 will be reflected in the decrease of emissions by 0.57 % in the given country. The thesis thus shows that carbon tax could be quite useful tool for reduction in the amount of emissions of CO2 and therefore a useful tool to reduce impacts of climate change.

Dopady emisního zdanění na státní rozpočet České republiky
Doubravová, Monika
Bachelor thesis deals with the carbon tax and its impact on the state budget. The theoretical beginning of the thesis is focused on the characteristics and distribu-tion of taxes. Next part consists of theoretical knowledge from the area of the state budget. The main part of the thesis deals with the implementation of emission component of carbon tax on commodities and consequently the impact of this tax to the state budget of the Czech Republic.

Carbon tax (tax on CO2 emissions) in EU Member States: Study 2.095
Palán, Josef
Studie se zabývá uhlíkovou daní (daní z emisí CO2), patřící mezi nepřímé daně, kterou se zdaňují emise CO2, vytvářené spalováním fosilních paliv (uhlí, minerálních olejů, plynu). Uhlíková daň se uvaluje na fosilní paliva a její výše je obvykle odvislá od množství CO2, které vzniká při spalování pohonných hmot nebo při výrobě tepla určeného k vytápění nebo k průmyslovému užití a v některých státech je sazba daně částečně odvislá i od energetického obsahu.

Impact assessment of tax policy with static CGE model regarding environmental protection in Czech Republic
Smejkal, Tomáš ; Hurník, Jaromír (advisor) ; Potužák, Pavel (referee)
At the beginning of the year 2014 carbon tax should be introduced in Czech Republic with the main focus on decreasing CO2 emission from firms not involved in EU ETS. Potential repercussions of this regulatory tool depend on multiple complex events occurring within the economy. In response a macroeconomic general equilibrium model with the base year of 2009 was created. This model is able to identify complex events within the economy and simulate initiation of the tax itself. As a result of this model there is a conclusion that not all sectors will decrease their demand for newly taxed fossil fuels and that an increase of consumption for relatively less taxed fuels for instance natural gas might be expected as a result of the tax initiation. Carbon tax will be according to the simulation results indirectly but significantly influencing the energy sector, which will in spite of the relative cut-price of input fuels respond with decrease in electricity production. Consequent higher electricity price will then cause additional costs for taxed sectors. Important conclusion is also the fact that rational behavior of economic agents could lead to a lower emission reduction than is currently being expected and even further increase in the tax rate beyond 15 EUR/tCO2 would probably not lead to a significant reduction of CO2 emissions.
