Liberalization of electricity market and competition policy
Zámorský, Tomáš ; Zemplinerová, Alena (advisor) ; Misic, Viktorija (referee)
The purpose of the electricity market liberalization is disruption of the rigid market structure, in which monopoly from regulation abuses its position at the expense of consumers. Rigid market structure was characteristical for the czech electricity market from 1990 to 2001, when the "energetics act" came into force. This act caused gradual liberalization of the market entrance until nowadays situation, when consumers can freely choose their electricity provider. The aim of this thesis is based on comparison of non-price and price competition advantages of alternative and traditional electricity providers to find out, if the main electricity producer ČEZ is able to hold its dominant market share. The analysis showed that, thanks to liberalized market entrance, ČEZ has no longer so stable position on the market and that its market share e.g. on market of wholesale electricity supplies is not due to competition dominant. Its market share from the point of view of number of points of supply remains major.

An economic analysis of selected pre-election promises of 2006 and their impact on public spending
Zámorský, Tomáš ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Ryvolová, Ivana (referee)
My thesis consernes with election promises analysis, which are part of every pre-election campaign. The aim is to verify the fact, that many of these promises is not, because of financial reasons, possible to realize. I focus on two known political parties: ODS and ČSSD. I make a comparision between real and hypothetic postures of state budgets, which will come, if the surveyed promises will come valid. Through this analysis I try to verify the political business cycle theory, that speaks about inadequate government expenditures in the election time and their impact on next years. The main idea of my thesis should be, that politics becomes nowadays a business, when politicians "buys" votes, to get to their prospective professions. No less important idea is, that nationals should not trust visible and grand gestures. They should follow their own intellect and see even that, what is not so visible.
