Hustolesová, Lucie ; Ježek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Pícl, Michal (referee)
The field of state budget is very topical and crucial for the future economic development of the country. The aim of this thesis is to map the political process of state budget production and endorsement. It shows the level of its affectability under the current conditions, if the state budget is only a result of wrong political decisions. The thesis discusses the process of the state budget production and endorsement itself. It also shows the state budget structure when identifying the most significant items of the state budget. The second part presents state budgets under the different Czech governments since 1993. One state budget of each government is further examined. Its production, endorsement and final performance is described. It shows the key items change under the different governments. It searches for similar tendences among governments and focuses on items which are the source of imbalances of the state budget. This thesis offers the insight to different government state budgets, in order to discuss if balanced state budget is under the current conditions attainable, whether its deficit character is determined by the process itself.

Pension reform in Czech Republic and the second pillar
Dudák, Jan ; Poláková, Olga (advisor) ; Pícl, Michal (referee)
The current pension system in the Czech Republic is economically unsustainable in long term. Reason of this situation is mainly negative demographics development. According to expert estimates, the pension system will produce, over the period 30 -- 40 years, annual deficits of 4-5 % of GDP. The most significant change in current pension reform is creation of fully funded pillar, so called second pillar. This work analyses strengths and weakness of this reform, also comments actual criticism and discussion of this reform. Work shows that especially the lack of political consensus threatens the future stability of second pillar. Subsequent analysis of the profitability of entry to the second pillar shows that the entry will be most profitable for younger individuals with above-average incomes. In conclusion, the work proposes alternative options to secure in pension, in particular deposit products and investment in the property market. The work is completed by own sample survey with the main objective to find out the willingness of respondents to enter the second pillar.

Analysis of the impact of the act which limits the election expenses of the political parties
Šimůnková, Barbora ; Minárik, Pavol (advisor) ; Pícl, Michal (referee)
The mail goal of this work is to provide enough arguments, on which basis we can come to a conclusion if an act about limits on election costs of political parties in the Czech Republic could bring a positive effect. The work compares data on economic activities of political parties in the Slovak Republic with political parties in the Czech Republic. Experts on election costs define some interest groups which can benefit from this law. These groups include large and small parties, incumbents and challengers parties. The work does not neglect the analysis of non-governmental organizations that have attempted to monitor the implementations, effects and loopholes of such a law. The conclusion brings the finding that the voters may be influenced by a number of important factors, such as political and social situation in the country, by the well prepared and carried out campaign i.e. it is also found out that election costs does not play such an important role that is assigned to them. Regulation in the form of an upper limit of election expenses can be considered as another marketing tool that is used to obtain political party voters.
