Analysis of meat demand in the Czech Republic
Dlasková, Karolína ; Ščasný, Milan (advisor) ; Polák, Petr (referee)
Meat and meat products form the highest share of Czech household expenditures for food. This thesis offers a complex view on the Czech meat market and studies in detail the determinants of meat demand. A review of the most frequently used demand models is included, from which the least squares log-log model is used for empirical analysis. The core of this thesis is the estimation of price and income elasticities of demand for various types of meat based on statistical data of household accounts from the years 2000 - 2012. The estimates are, with the exception of the price elasticity for beef, which equals 0.13, consistent with previous studies. Within the examined period, households manifest unitary income elasticity and own price elasticity of demand for meat equal to -1.2. The temporal evolution of elasticities varies for different types of meat. Important socio-demographical aspects influencing the demand for meat, such as age, education, whether the household is led by a female, and others, are also analysed.

Beliefs and Consumption of Organic Food in Different Income Groups of Consumers
Kozánková, Barbora ; Rosenfeldová, Jana (advisor) ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (referee)
The present bachelor's thesis is concerned with a research on beliefs about organic food of five income groups of consumers. It aims to discover the motivational factors and barriers to organic food purchase in the individual income groups, to measure the average frequency of organic food purchase in the groups and to identify potential links between the researched phenomena. The literature review presented in the first part of the thesis provides the theoretical background, discussing organic food consumption trends in the Czech republic and the current research on demographic and psycholgical determinants of organic food consumption. The research is based on the theory of planned behaviour, which categorizes the determinants of behaviour and introduces the term "informational foundations," which are the main object of this study. The research employs quantitative method and works with two hypotheses, while trying to answer the researched problem by including exloratory elements as well. The study seeks to explain the current trends in organic food consumption by searching for links between personal income, the frequency of orgnic food purchase and the intenzity of beliefs about organic food. The findings of the present research can be employed in marketing and communiaction strategies. They...

Analysis of the determinants of consumption of selected agricultural products
Šťastný, Jakub ; Hálová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Petra, Petra (referee)
This thesis deals with the econometric modelling of selected factors affecting the consumption of wheat bakery products in the Czech Republic and Austria between 1995 and 2014. There is a gluten problematic mentioned in the theoretical part and its impact on human organism, followed by an explanation of the consumer s behaviour and his reaction to the development of the price of the goods and his income. The thesis itself is divided into two parts. In the first part there are the time series analyses which are then investigated for their suitability for the subsequent modelling. The second part focuses on the construction of a single-equation model of the wheat bakery products consumption using an econometrical model. Finally there is a quantification of the impact of the individual factors on the wheat bakery products consumption in these two countries based on the coefficients of elasticity.
