Technologies, endowment and foreign trade: testing the Heckscher-Ohlin model on Czech data
Kroulíková, Šárka ; Semerák, Vilém (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Jakub (referee)
One may observe a growing trend of figure measuring the ration between export and gross domestic product that applies for almost all countries. In response to this phenomenon theories dealing with international trade becomes more important. The capability to identify some trends in commodity movements and determine advantages rising from bilateral trade are key aspects of economic growth and country development. This thesis deals with the analysis of international trade between Czech Republic and Germany. Fundamental determinant of trade between countries is Heckscher-Ohlin Theorem and as my research instrument I choose Input-Output methodology. I decided to use two types of calculation, while evaluating the validity of mentioned theory. First is Leontief methodology from 1954, which led to famous Leontief paradox. Second and more modern approach is the one developed by Riedel in 1974. In quantitative part of my analysis I focused my attention on two calculations with purpose to state factor endowment and country's production intensity. The meaning of this analysis is to confirm the validity of Heckscher-Ohlin Theorem, which would lead to conclusion that commodity movement between Czech Republic and Germany is driven by neoclassical theory of comparative advantage.

REGULATORY NETWORK OF DRUG-INDUCED ENZYME PRODUCTION: PARAMETER ESTIMATION BASED ON THE PERIODIC DOSING RESPONSE MEASUREMENT
Papáček, Štěpán ; Lynnyk, Volodymyr ; Rehák, Branislav
The common goal of systems pharmacology, i.e. systems biology applied to the eld of pharmacology, is to rely less on trial and error in designing an input-output systems, e.g. therapeutic schedules. In this paper we present, on the paradigmatic example of a regulatory network of drug-induced enzyme production, the further development of the study published by Duintjer Tebbens et al. (2019) in the Applications of Mathematics. Here, the key feature is that the nonlinear model in form of an ODE system is controlled (or periodically forced) by an input signal being a drug intake. Our aim is to test the model features under both periodic and nonrecurring dosing, and eventually to provide an innovative method for a parameter estimation based on the periodic dosing response measurement.

Value Added in the Global Value Chains in the Automotive Industry in Slovakia
Pravda, Matúš ; Semerák, Vilém (advisor) ; Hayat, Arshad (referee)
The thesis provides a detailed decomposition of Slovak bilateral exports in the automotive industry and shows the development of global value chains participation in the scope of the Visegrad group. The first part, bilateral sectoral decomposition, examines shares of the domestic & foreign value added components as well as a double-counted term in Slovak exports to the global biggest economies. Moreover, it determines the origin of the foreign value added embodied in Slovak exports and final destinations, where the Slovak value added is absorbed. The second part determines to what extent is Slovakia participating in global value chains as well as Czechia, Poland and Hungary. The results obtained from this decomposition showcased a decreasing share of the domestic value added, which is caused to some extent by integration into these value chains as well as the character of Slovak production specialisation. Data series provided proof of a long-term trend.
