Practical Use of Higher Control Systems
Kůtka, Michal ; Pásek, Jan (referee) ; Jirgl, Miroslav (advisor)
The master thesis deals with the implementation of higher controllers to the commonly used practice in the automation of technological processes. It uses the DCS system from Siemens - PCS 7 and its advanced APC (Advanced Process Control) library. The aim of this master thesis is a theoretical summary of resources and available tools for real-time deployment. The master thesis briefly introduces the Siemens PCS 7 DCS system and the APC library tools (functional blocks). For these types of regulators, their proper use is discussed.

PPI and CPI: What is the relationship?
Červený, David ; Polák, Petr (advisor) ; Havránek, Tomáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the relationship between the PPI and the CPI in the Czech Republic and the euro area. The primary method used in this thesis is the Granger causality test. Granger causality between the price indices is tested for in a bivariate model and also conditional on other variables describing the development of real GDP, a given monetary aggregate and wages. The most apparent conclusion that can be drawn from the empirical results indicates that the PPI Granger-causes the CPI in the Czech Republic and that there is no Granger causality going from the CPI to the PPI in the euro area. These results are consistent with conventional economic theory, which suggests a pass-through effect in the production chain going from producer prices to consumer prices.

Dependency between Deflation and Recession in Japan over the Past Two Decades
Vopat, Daniel ; Ryska, Pavel (advisor) ; Franče, Václav (referee)
Aim of this bachelor's thesis is to find out if and in what manner has been the real GDP growth influenced by change of price level in Japan during last twenty years. This period is in Japan characteristic by economic stagnation often accompanied by deflation. Many economists and politicians presume that deflation keeps Japanese economy from growing again and they consider deflation to be an undesirable element that needs to be prevented. We use methods of econometric analysis to achieve our goal. To be more specific we use ordinary least squares estimation on quarterly data. The model is estimated in two ways to prevent possible influence of world economic crisis in 2008 and 2009. First model takes into account all collected data and second model drops out data from world economic crisis period. According to the first mentioned model analysis, the fourth lag of price level is negatively correlated with real GDP growth on 5 % significance level. To put it in another way, deflation was followed by acceleration of quarterly real GDP growth. This correlation was insignificant in the second model. Our research indicates that there is no reason to consider deflation being the cause of long lasting economic stagnation. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Corruption rate and economic performance
Hořejší, Zuzana ; Soukupová, Jana (advisor) ; Džbánková, Zuzana (referee)
This Bachelor´s thesis is focused on a level of corruption and economic influence in selected countries of EU. Theoretical part is focused on a description of the term of corruption, types of corruption, forms of measuring corruption and last but not least causes and consequences of corruption. The basis of the practical part is a regression and correlation analysis which I apply to observed indicators in selected countries of EU. These observed indicators are CPI, GDP in PPP, and Legatum Prosperity Index. The aim of my thesis is to find out if there is a relation among these indicators and then how strong is a dependency among them.

Comparison of consumer price indices in the Czech Republic and the EU
Hanzal, Vít ; Fischer, Jakub (advisor) ; Trexler, Jiří (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to theoretically explain the concept of price statistic and his subcategories such as national (CPI) and Harmonised (HICP) Index of Consumer Prices with help from Czech statistical office and suitable literature. During the explanation of the concept of CPI is also enlightened classification of COICOP and meaning of the weight system. The prediction of the progress of weights of categories COICOP_1 and COICOP_4, is created in practical part. Moreover the hypothesis was created whether the weights of categories COICOP_1 and COICOP_4 are closing to average values of the EU. This prediction is achieved by statistical methods such as trend functions and exponencional smoothing. Slight increase of values is predicted for the weights of category COICOP_1, instead of category COICOP_4, where was predicted constant progress of the weights. In last chapter we set up a hypothesis, whether the progress of values HICP is closing to the values of EU. Also it was necessary to prove seasonality and then subsequently create a prediction of value progress, which was acomplished by exponential smoothing. The results verified the hypothesis, that the progress of HICP in CR gradually descents and that it closes to the values HICP of the EU.

Analysis of the Current Issue of Corruption in the Czech Republic with a Focus on Public Administration
Baštář, Filip ; Louda, Tomáš (advisor) ; Matula, Miloš (referee)
This diploma thesis analyses the current state of corruption in the Czech Republic. Primarily I focus on public administration and public sector, however I seek a comprehensive view on the issue in my thesis. The first part presents the theoretical approaches to corruption, bureaucracy and public administration, lobbying, interest groups etc. The practical part deals with methods of measuring corruption, the position of the Czech Republic against other states, legal specification of corruption and the impact of corruption in the states economy. Furthermore, I present causes of origin and spread of corruption and analyse current and planned instruments of government anticorruption fight in combination with the activities of organizations dealing with corruption. The aim of my thesis is to determine whether the current anti-corruption steps are properly set and whether those steps are actually implemented.

Vztah akademické poctivosti a ekonomických ukazatelů států EU
Surovec, Martin
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to determine whether there are correlations between economic indicators of EU countries and academic honesty, and to explain the existing correlations. In the first part the author focuses on the issue of academic dishonesty and economic indicators, which form the basis for the practical part. In the practical part are used data from the project IPPHEAE and correlation analysis of economic indicators and academic honesty just as sub-criteria of academic honesty is carried out. The result of the research is confirmation of the existence of correlations and their clarification. The most interesting result was a negative correlation of academic honesty and a difference between wages of secondary educaated and university-educated people.

Price perception vs. measured inflation and its influence and impact on economics and political vote
Marková, Lenka ; Šíma, Josef (advisor) ; Rybáček, Václav (referee)
Measurement of price level with consumer price indices forms some gap between measured inflation and perceived inflation. The graduation theses is concerned with quantification of gap in particular group of individuals and shows on measuring data, how this gap influents individuals, if growth of cost of living according to consumer price index copies price perception. It illustrates influence the incorrect construction of indices as important orientation point in economy, which redistribution of recourses, in context with usage of indices for income indexation and suggests more appropriate approach for constructing aggregate price index. It investigates what factors influence price perception and comes into gain and loses calculation which people are confronted. Price perception is influenced both socio-economic and political environment. The end of theses overlaps into political vote and investigates if there is causal of relationship between price perception and political vote.
