Trust Models in Computer Systems
Galbička, Lukáš ; Kočí, Radek (referee) ; Zbořil, František (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with modeling of trust and reputation in multi-agent systems. It provides information about the basic concepts related to trust between agents. Several models based on trust are presented, one of which is chosen as a subject of measurements verifying its functionality. Possibilities for the model's improvement are explored based on the results of the measurements.

Is trust in economy neglected unjustly?
Lipták, Michal ; Janotík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Cahlík, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis is seeking theoretical background as well as statistical evidence of links between classical and institutional economy by connecting their typical phenomena, specifically the notion of trust from the theory of transaction costs and the notion of return velocity of money from the quantity theory of money. It proves, that trust in the mainstream economy actually is omitted unjustly, for there is a strong statistical correlation between trust and real, as well as nominal, outcome. This conclusion is notable despite that there was not found any definite empirical evidence that this correlation is caused by effect of trust on return velocity of money. Furthermore, the thesis is attempting to find determinants affecting the level of trust like ethnic and religious disunity of the nation, but attempts to find their effect have failed. Keywords: trust, institutional economy, classical economy, return velocity of money, tribes

Post-Socialist Corruption as a Legacy of the Past? The Experience of Central European Countries
Matis, Maroš ; Svoboda, Karel (advisor) ; Jędruchów, Tomasz Dawid (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis deals with the phenomenon of post-socialist corruption. Corruption is a frequent topic of discussions within society, yet almost always the focus is on the current situation and contemporary scandals. This work tries to apply a more in-depth approach. It examines to what extent corruption in Central Europe is a legacy of the socialist regimes and of the subsequent period of transition. Corruption is not a modern phenomenon, it has been present in Central Europe for centuries. However, it seems that the beginning of socialism represents a turning point, which changed whole structure of the society. This work examines structural characteristics of the former regimes such as: their hierarchical nature, shortage economies and its effects on the emergence of corrupt practices, and the mechanism beyond it. Social norms and clientelist networks created in the former regimes survived even after year 1989. Moreover, the period of transition brought new options for corruption such as: privatisation, legislative and institutional vacuum, and economic recession. An analysis of certain aspects relevant for corruption in the period of socialism and transition could help us better understand contemporary corruption in the countries of Central Europe.

The Determinants of Trust in the European Central Bank
Katuščáková, Dominika ; Horváth, Roman (advisor) ; Janotík, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis studies the determinants of trust in the European Central Bank by employing various indicators. The main objective has been to assess the most significant determinants of trust and to study the impact of the Great Crisis on trust in the European Central Bank. First, the socio-demographic and macroeconomic variables have been studied as the predictors and socio-demographic ones have been confirmed to be more significant. We have also extended the regressions by two new variables: monetary policy transparency index and financial stability transparency index. Whereas the monetary policy transparency index has not been significantly correlated with trust, it has been proved that the financial stability transparency index has positive impact on the trust in the European Central Bank. Secondly, we have employed the bias-reduced linearization procedure for computation of the standard errors in order to account for clustering and serial correlation problems. After comparison with the robust standard errors, we have concluded that the robust standard errors are not able to completely deal with the clusters and serial correlation in data. Thirdly, it has been proved that the trust in the European Central Bank decreases during the crisis occurrence.
