An analysis of the determinants influencing the probability of cancellation for projects receiving EU funding
Nový, Petr ; Martišková, Monika (advisor) ; Patáková, Magdalena (referee)
This thesis approaches the problem of the cancelled projects receiving EU funding as another reference variable through which the absorption capacity of the Czech Republic may be measured. The determinants influencing the probability of projects cancellation have so far been only modestly described. Therefore, an attempt to examine some determinants influencing the probability of cancellation for projects receiving EU funding is made, first, by summarizing and describing trends of cancelled projects in the programming period 2007 - 2013 and, second, by econometric inference trying to find the possible determinants. The data shows the ever increasing trend of cancelled projects and large share of the Operational Program Enterprise and Innovations on all cancelled projects. It was found that it is the size of the paid amount for projects that determines negatively the probability of projects cancellation most significantly. Apart from that, the age of a firm and number of employees also play a significant positive role. The year 2008 when crisis broke out, is also a determining factor.

Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth: Evidence from Transition Economies
Su, Qihao ; Holub, Tomáš (advisor) ; Amini, Chiara (referee) ; Semerák, Vilém (referee)
Abstract: Institutional quality and income level of countries can play different role in international trade, which can affect foreign direct investment and economic growth, both negatively and positively. Although the empirical evidence shows a mix result, few literatures specifically study the effect of FDI on economic growth and the role of institutions in FDI and economic growth in developing countries. This thesis is developed on the research of Roodman (2006, 2009) and Farole and Winkler (2012) but specifically focuses on the impacts of institutional quality on FDI-Growth nexus. This thesis is based on absorptive capacity theory and exogenous growth model to utilize dynamic panel GMM techniques robust to instrument proliferation. Finally, the thesis empirically tested the propositions through econometric models by regressing a static panel model and two-stage GMM equation. In summary, based on absorptive capacity theory, this dissertation not only contributes to literature by applying the theoretical model in FDI and economic growth in exploring interaction with the role of institutions and human capital on the FDI-growth nexus but also obtained some new empirical results in different income level groups to explore the impacts of macroeconomics situation that can affect our results.

Induced Costs and Absorption Capacity
Matějková, Jitka ; Krbová, Jana (advisor) ; Luštický, Martin (referee)
The work deals with the connection of issues induced costs and absorption capacity. The aim of the work is to analyze the induced costs caused by the implementation of projects financed from the EU funds and their impact on the absorption capacity. The main methods used in practical part are the questionnaire survey, structured interviews and content analysis of data.
