Position of trade unions in labour relations
KOŘÍNKOVÁ, Marie
The topic of my bachelor thesis is the position of trade unions in labor relations. In my work I deal with different powers of trade union, collective bargaining and concluding collective agreements. Further I define the notion of collective and individual disputes. Disputes arising from collective agreements and contract disputes shall be resolved by proceedings before the arbitrator and mediator. Unlike the disputes of collective agreements may be in dispute on the conclusion of collective agreements used as a last resort strike, but only if it was not brought before an arbitrator. The main task of trade unions is the protection of employees.

Analysis of value added tax determinants
Nesnídal, Daniel ; Řežábek, Pavel (advisor) ; Zamrazilová, Eva (referee)
This master thesis analyses the relationship between state budgetary revenues from indirect taxes, the number of existing indirect tax rates and the level of those taxes. In particular, this thesis strives to investigate whether an increase in the number of indirect tax rates and higher tax rates lead to a measurable increase in the net tax revenue of a given state. The analysis uses tax-related data from 39 European countries collected between 1993 and 2014 and includes a total number of 746 observations. In order to arrive at the estimated results, this thesis uses the general method of moments analysis (GMM) along with the Arellano-Bond estimator. Results obtained through the GMM analysis suggest that, ceteris paribus, the introduction of one additional indirect tax rate leads to a decrease of net tax revenue of the state vis-a-vis its gross domestic product by 1,03 percentage points. The relationship between the level of indirect tax rate and the state's net revenues appears to be non-linear. Specifically, the increase of indirect tax rate by one percentage point appears to be associated with an increase of state's net revenue vis-a-vis its gross domestic product by approximately one percentage point.

Economic and social aspects of overindebtedness of households in Czech Republic after 2000
Švec, František ; Jílek, Josef (advisor) ; Řežábek, Pavel (referee)
The thesis deals with the issue of excessive debt of households. In the first part the analysis of development of indebtedness of households was made and it was found out, that consumer loans are the most risky. Consumer loans are associated with the highest ratio of defaulting loans and are the leading cause of bankruptcies of individuals in the Czech Republic. The following chapter analyzes institutional environment of credit market and detects current weaknesses. These weaknesses consist in insufficient oversight of nonbank provider of consumer loans, absence of upper limit of annual percentage rate for consumer credit and credit availability to risk groups of households. Another cause of overindebtedness of households is insufficient financial literacy in Czech Republic. The reduced consumption has been identified as the most significant impact of overindebtedness of households. It is caused by transferring funds from households with a higher propensity to consume to households with a lower propensity to consume. Lower household consumption leads also to lower government revenue collected through the value added tax. Another economic impact we can see for example in increasing poverty of households, increasing criminality, higher government spending on health care or potential political radicalization. The thesis results are proposals of legislative measures that would mitigate the economic impact of overindebtedness of households. These measures lie primarily in the regulation of consumer credit market and greater consumer protection. The specific options are an extension of supervision by the Czech National Bank on nonbank providers of consumer loans, determining the upper limit of annual percentage rate, more thorough application of the legal obligation to examine the ability of borrowers to repay loans. Another option is to reduce the limit of 30 % of paid-up commitments in insolvency law.

Impacts of corruption and fiscal evasion on selected sectors of the economy
Rodonaia, Elizbar ; Šrédl, Karel (advisor) ; Kopecká, Lenka (referee)
Corruption is one of the most famous and also the most serious problems of the contemporary world. The aim of the processing of the dissertation is to create the actual characteristics of corruption and fiscal evasion, both from theoretical and practical point of view, specify their manifestations in economies of Georgia and Czech Republic in conditions of contemporary globalization, as well as to express the effects of corruption and fiscal evasion on selected sectors of the economy. The international organization Transparency International compared corruption in different countries based on the values of the Corruption Perception Index (CPI), which measures the degree of corruption perception from a subjective point of view. Every year the index captures the current view on corruption in the public sector and surveys used for the compilation include issues related to the misuse of public power for private benefit. The Czech Republic has 51 points and is on the 53th position in the rankings, right behind her at the 54th position ranked Slovakia with 50 points. This placement reflects very bad situation in the state administration, poor functioning of political parties and the lack of anti-corruption policy of the state. From the collected data and time series was concluded a conclusion about the high correlation and the correlated indicators of corruption CPI and GDP per capita in PPP. Although among the least corrupt countries in the world in 2014 ranks developed economies such as Denmark, New Zealand and Finland, less sophisticated Georgia was able to stay 50th position ahead of Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is due to the fact that with the advent of the Governments of President Saakashvili and Prime Minister Ivanishvili underwent a major reform of the state administration, including the security forces. This testifies to the fact that the underdevelopment of the economy is far from being the main factor for the elimination of corruption and fiscal evasion in a particular country. Reducing scope of tax evasions and departures of companies to tax havens are aims of the electronic records of sales and changes in the procurement system. Transparency of decisions on the allocation of public contracts should be solved and carry out an inspection utilization of public funds. Limitation of the influence of officials in the public service would undoubtedly help to eliminate small (petty) corruption. More than the total elimination of corruption endeavour currently states on its reduction or elimination of its consequences.
