Radicsová, Alena ; Kuba, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Lechner, Tomáš (referee)
The main topic of my dissertation is a referendum as an instrument of direct democracy. Czech Republic is one of the latest country to have joined the European Union, whose constitutional system does not have modification of a nationwide referendum. The aim of this work was to evaluate the approach and the content of government's draft of the constitutional law for the nationwide referendum presented as a Parliamentary Document No. 559, in comparison with its regulation in selected European countries. The author establishes several basic criteria which are mainly concluded through analysis and comparison. The results indicate we cannot expect any significant step forward in terms of civil participation and qualitative democratic progress in proposals describe above.

Radicsová, Alena ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
This paper examines wage discrimination against women in the labor market and the impact of marriage on their earnings. Married women are looking for work which is less time consuming and physically demanding and it is possible to combine childcare and household, leading to lower earnings. The paper used cross-sectional data for the Czech Republic from the web survey WageIndicator for 2011 and 2012. Using the ordinary least squares method is found marriage penalty in the amount of 8 - 10 %. Results of my study suggest that place of work or foreign ownership of companies, where the woman works, significantly influences the level of wages.
