Labor share of Czech Republic in years 1993–2015
Souček, Ondřej ; Kubelková, Karina (advisor) ; Řežábek, Pavel (referee)
Labor share in the neoclassical context is perceived as a share of the labor income in GDP. A very basic way to compute the labour share simply entails dividing compensation of employees by gross value added. After a series studies and the rise of neoclassical economics, the assumption of labor share stability over time was introduced. With the publication of Kaldor's theory of growth, the assumption of labor share stability became a generally accepted fact. The aim of this thesis is to answer the question on how the labor share and its individual characteristics evolved in the Czech Republic in the years 1993-2015 and whether its average level and the overall trend in this period corresponds to the neoclassical labor share theories.

Feurich, Marek ; Kubelková, Karina (advisor) ; Bartůsková, Lucia (referee)
After the split of the Czechoslovak Federal Republic (CSFR) to the Czech and Slovak Republics in 1993, both countries retain most ČSFR laws, including law no. 463/1991 Sb., o životním minimu. So the starting position was the same for both countries. A number of modifications of the legislative environment, which happened over the years in both countries, provides a suitable space for the realization of comparative analysis. The aim of this thesis is to compare the institute of subsistence minimum (SM) in the Czech and Slovak Republic between 1993-2015, and prove the assumptions that the institute of SM always held in both countries the same function, was highly motivational to reintegrate the unemployed into the workforce, and the greater amount of SM has always meant a higher income for people in material need in particular country. But the conducted comparative analysis does not confirm the assumptions.

Hanušová, Daniela ; Kubelková, Karina (advisor) ; Štekláč, Jiří (referee)
The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to analyze the compensatory benefit in pregnancy and maternity paid in the Czech Republic before the year 2009 and after this year. The year 2009 was important because a new law 187/2006 Sb. came into force. The aim of this thesis is to answer whether this benefit has its place in the system of sickness insurance of a modern welfare state in the future. The theoretical part of this work pursues the aim of putting the compensatory benefit in pregnancy and maternity into a wider context. It deals with the welfare system in the Czech Republic in general and later focuses on the system of sickness insurance in a greater detail. It also looks directly into the compensatory benefit in pregnancy and maternity itself. The practical part of this thesis analyzes the trend of state expenditures resulting from the existence of this benefit in the years 2003 to 2015. It also evaluates the share of this expenditure as a proportion of all expenditures within the scope of sickness insurance benefits and as a proportion of the GDP of the Czech Republic. One chapter is also dedicated to analyze and compare the compensatory benefit in pregnancy and maternity in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. This thesis concludes that the expenditure amounts for this benefit are increasing in time and that the interest of Czech citizens in this benefit is not in decline even in the modern welfare state. Another conclusion drawn is that the share of expenditures caused by this benefit is relatively negligible in the context of all sickness insurance state expenditures.

Pekárková, Kateřina ; Kubelková, Karina (advisor) ; Bartůsková, Lucia (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the implementation of the waiting period into the sickness insurance in the Czech Republic in the years from 2008 to 2014. The theoretical part explains the fundamental concepts related to the sickness insurance, the health insurance allowance and the waiting period. The practical part consists of a legal analysis and the current happening around the waiting period in the Czech Republic or in the EU and EFTA member states. The income and expenditure analysis of the sickness insurance helps to reveal that the costs of sickness insurance have decreased, which was also due to the implementation of the waiting period. This work evaluates data, which indicate that the short-term morbidity has decreased as well as the work incapacity. There are detailed calculations in the conclusion which show how adjustments in the sickness insurance changed the amount of wage compensation and the sick benefits. The aim of this work is to identify and quantify the benefits and costs of the waiting period implementation within the sickness insurance in the Czech Republic.

Income poverty in the Czech Republic and social transfer system effectiveness in its elimination in years 2005-2013
Kubelková, Karina ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (advisor) ; Krebs, Vojtěch (referee) ; Průša, Ladislav (referee) ; Kalmus, Jaromír (referee)
The dissertation deals with the issue of poverty in the Czech Republic, especially with its economic, political and historical context of development, theory and practice of its measurement and possible international comparability, both in scale and in terms of the effectiveness of social transfers system. The effectiveness is understood as reducing the extent of poverty represented by the at-risk-of-poverty rate used e.g. in Europe 2020 Strategy. The aim of the dissertation is to analyze the problem of income poverty and its development in the Czech Republic with a special focus on the effectiveness of the social transfers system in relation to reducing the extent of income poverty. The effectiveness is analyzed separately in case of social transfers as a whole, and in case of social transfers excluding old-age and survivors' pensions. The emphasis has been placed on international comparisons and on the poorest layers of the population represented by the study of the lower poverty lines than the standard one. Based on empirical analysis of survey data from the EU-SILC, it was disproved that the effectiveness of the Czech social transfers system was above average compared to the countries of the same welfare state model, the CEE region and the EU during the years 2005-2013. The Czech pension system plays a crucial role in the level of effectiveness of the social transfers system. The good position of the Czech Republic among the all three studied groups of countries in terms of effectiveness is maintained mainly thanks to its pension system.The current low level of poverty rate was achieved mainly thanks to the pre-crisis measures, respectively due to the specific timing of these measures package. The contribution of this dissertation consists in complex and systematized view of the income poverty in the Czech Republic, accompanied by the analysis of the effectiveness of the social transfer system. This analysis, owing to the time series (2005-2013), applied methods (methods of the European Commission vs. IZA method) and scope of the international comparison (welfare state model, CEE region and EU), has no similarity in the Czech scientific literature so far.

Approach to the life insurance from the perspective of Czech population
Loudová, Martina ; Jílek, Josef (advisor) ; Kubelková, Karina (referee)
The life insurance is an integral part of financial market, although changing its importance during the development. This thesis aims to carry out a research focused on the approach and attitude of the Czech population to the life insurance and its resulting analysis. The research was conducted through a questionnaire survey effected on an independent sample of the Czech population in the number of 185 respondents and a case study MetLife insurance company. The thesis does not neglect the theoretical background, current trends in the life insurance and the future prognosis. The results of analysis refer to the dependence of approach to the life insurance on the factors of age, the number of household members, the actual amount of outstanding liabilities and the gross monthly income. The lack of knowledge of respondents on the profitability, the risk and the liquidity of their life insurance policies and its dependence on the factor of achieved education were proved. In the case of a higher number of concluded life insurance contracts they diversify the risk and use different insurers. It also came out that the life insurance has recently kept losing its original meaning in the sense of risk instrument and is perceived still more as a savings and an invesment instrument. Although the current approach is not the rational reasoning, I continue to assume the increasing importance of unit linked life insurance.
