Inter-industry wage differentials in the Czech republic
Jelínková, Kateřina ; Sojka, Milan (advisor) ; Kameníček, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with the inter-industry wage differentials in the Czech Republic. Inter-industry wage differentials are one of the very important topics of the discussion on marginal productivity theory that has not yet been explored for the Czech Republic. Taking advantage of the individual employer- employee matched data this thesis tests the applicability of unobserved characteristics theory for the Czech labor market. Based on the test on workers of low qualification the paper rejects the hypothesis of the great importance of unobserved characteristics for the determination of wage. The comparison of the Czech industry wage premia with the international standards and also the analysis of industries with high wage premia, namely with high profitability, enables the description of the Czech labor market with the use of the fair wage theory of George Akerlof and the theory of rent-sharing.

The Czech and Italian non-profit sector : different and therefore uncomparable systems
Novotná, Petra ; Cahlík, Tomáš (referee) ; Kameníček, Jiří (advisor)
Bachelor thesis The Czech and Italian Non-profit sector: Different and Therefore Uncomparable Systems offers an overview of the functioning of non-profit organizations in the Czech Republic and Italy. The main part is divided into two sections so each country is given a separate section. In the beginning is always summarized a historical development and events that most influenced the later development of the nonprofit sector. Next there are introduced types and forms of non-profit organizations, some of legislation arrangements and other basic information. In the analytical part I paid attention to various aspects of current affairs in particular sectors, i.e. new opportunities arising from the Czech accession to the EU or closer introduction of the main types of Italian non-profit organizations. Part of this section is also a general overview suggesting a relationship of local economies to their non-profit sectors. Finally, there is presented one selected Czech and Italian non-profit organization. I concluded my work with an unusual ending which explains the inability to compare the above mentioned sectors.

Funding of tertiary education in the Czech Republic in comparison to the Swedish systém
Burešová, Nikola ; Kameníček, Jiří (referee) ; Koprnická, Kamila (advisor)
This work analyses the current situation of tertiary education funding in the Czech Republic and tries to find grounds for a possible reform of the funding system on the basis of a document issued by the Czech Ministry of Education, Bílá Kniha (transl. White Paper) and economics theories of Barr, Friedman and Palacios, which in different ways have been applied in various countries of OECD. The Swedish funding system is described in more detail. Some results of the reseach into the attitude of the Czech students about the possibilities of cofinancing their tertiary education, which was conducted by the Academy for the Sciences of the Czech Republic in 2004 and 2008 are mentioned marginally. Simultaneously, the data from a special research made only for this work are used.

IPO on Central European stock markets
Roženský, Vojtěch ; Havel, Jiří (advisor) ; Kameníček, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with recent Initial Public Offerings on Central European stock markets. It tries to explain, why there have been so many IPOs in Poland, whereas only a few in the Czech Republic and Hungary. It came to the conclusion, that the main reasons are as follows: (1) differences in equity culture, (2) the quality of commercial law and other legal issues, (3) high demand for domestic equities by Polish pension funds, (4) WSE's efficient marketing policy and market segmentation, (5) quantitative features of Polish market. The analysis of Polish IPOs discovered, that most of them are low-volume offerings, even compared to those in the Czech Republic. Also, the liquidity of these shares, turnover ratios and free float are quite low. The after-IPO performance is also unsatisfactory. This means, that the contribution of Polish IPOs to further capital market's development is not as strong as one could expect. Considering the PSE's and BSE's point of view, the situation is not alarming, however, some particular reasons of the lack of IPOs may be dangerous.

Long-term care
Myslíková, Zdeňka ; Bryndová, Lucie (advisor) ; Kameníček, Jiří (referee)
This paper deals with a question about the long-term care and it's definition within the health and social care systems as well as it analyzes factors which cause a rise of the demand and spendings on the long- term care. Based on the recommendations which should help to maintain the increase of the public spendings on the long-term care in the limits, it is found out that the principles of the Czech organizing of the long-term care do not meet these recommendations. Moreover, because of an unclear setting of the rules of providing the long-term care, higher costs for the public budget are already generated in the Czech Republic. It is found out, that the higher costs are generated mainly because the rational clients of the long-term care have space for shifting their costs to the public sector.Regarding the unsystematic definition of the long-term care as a clearly defined individual system, the thesis deals with the empirical findings of the total undistored costs of the formal long-term care in the Czech republic as well as tries to compute ‚the costs of inefficiency'. Finally the thesis tries to compute how much could grow the future costs while the part of the population which demands this care most frequently is going to grow. In the last part of the paper there is a suggestion of a possible solution...

A lesson of higher education funding : England - place to learn?
Zichová, Markéta ; Schneider, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kameníček, Jiří (referee)
The object of this thesis is to evaluate whether it is desirable to implement the new English system of higher education funding in the Czech Republic. The English system based on income contingent loans is the youngest system of higher education funding. Chapters two and three put forward criteria sets to determine suitability of education system. The first set of criteria reflects the unique role of human capital, its levels and quality necessary for sustainable economic growth. Second set of criteria includes requirements for the system to be economically efficient. It is further shown that the current Czech system does not fulfil almost any of the criteria in their entirety, indicating a clear need for reform. Upon its confrontation with the two criteria sets on the other hand, the English system is tested as a candidate to be considered in the Czech reform. Also other countries' experience with income contingent loans is provided in order to find out the options to fulfil all the criteria for case an English system fails to do so. Although it is shown that the income contingent mechanism meets both criteria sets it is concluded that the English system includes a number of weaknesses. For example, it suffers from low adaptability to labour market needs, suboptimal quality of education or inefficient...
