A Tool for Analysis of Cooperative Games
Kessner, Filip ; Kočí, Radek (referee) ; Hrubý, Martin (advisor)
Cooperative games are most frequently used to simulate systems of the real world in which deal with cooperation and mutual agreement. Systems under investigation can be as simple as dispute over a shirt but investigated problems can be as crucial as designing of an electoral system, pollution cost allocation or protection of market competition as well. This thesis includes a graphical application capable of computation of some well-known solution types and selection of properties in cooperative games context.

Growing power of developing countries and its influence on decision-making in the World Bank
Halamka, Radek ; Parízek, Michal (advisor) ; Kučerová, Irah (referee)
World Bank had worked under nearly the same structure and the same distribution of voting weights since its establishment. The settings reflecting the post-war situation has been criticized more and more lately as not corresponding with the present circumstances. Ineffectiveness, irrelevance and illegitimacy were enumerated as main deficiencies. Voice Reform, which was conducted in 2008 and 2010, should have brought a solution to the problems by more involvement of developing countries in decision-making in the World Bank. This thesis studies the approved changes in voting weights using power indices and analysis of financial flows. The results of both the approaches show that the revolutionary ethos remained in the Reform text and no large changes would likely happen. The only exception may be an increase of China, however, the United States would maintain its dominant position.
