BIOFUELS - REASONS AND CONSEQUENCES OF ITS INTRODUCTION
Bogdanov, Igor ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Munzi, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis aims to analyze the economic and environmental consequences of the regulation to mandatorily blend bio-components into the fuel and prove its inefficiency. The theoretical part summarizes in detail the reasons of introducing the regulation, including the legislative framework, and generational evolution of biofuels. The analytical part uses statistical analysis of time series and price and efficiency indices to evaluate the effectiveness of biofuels in relation to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The impact of the introduction of biofuels on the economy is specified through fuel prices. The impact on engines as well as food prices and social environment is also mentioned.

Analysis of the Food Crisis: Causes, Consequences and Solutions
Ptáčník, Martin ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (advisor) ; Hylmarová, Tereza (referee)
The thesis brings a comprehensive analysis of the food crisis of recent years. There was a dramatic increase in staple food prices in 2007-2008 and 2010-2011 which combined with persistent poverty is a serious problem for many millions of people. The objective of the thesis is to analyze the causes of this phenomenon. There are also examined socio-economic effects of rising global food prices on the quality of life in developing countries. In this sense, research is carried out whether the appropriate means helped to solve the food crisis and there are also suggested other options to address the current situation in order to reduce hunger and undernutrition in the world and avoid other people fall into poverty. Research is conducted using the method of observation, causal analysis and synthesis.

Biofuels and food safety
Štěpničková, Zuzana ; Melichar, Jan (advisor) ; Kaprová, Kateřina (referee)
The aim is to draw attention to an inefficient allocation of resources and capital, which has resulted in rising food prices and the high number of hungry people in developing coutries, which European and U.S. subsidy policy does nt accumulate capital and invest in their production. I focused on the prices of raw materials for biofuel production in connection with legislative obligations and CO2 emissions, including the impact of indirect land use changes (ILUC) and based on searches draw conclusions from primary studies that deal with macroeconomic modeling. This thesis confirmed the hypothesis that the current agricultural policy on biofuels does not comply with the theory of comparative advantage of growing food where it is advatageous both economically and environmentally.

Effects of the use of biofuels in the fuel prices and food prices
Procházka, Štěpán ; Ryvolová, Ivana (advisor) ; Petrášek, František (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the influence of the use of biofuels in the fuel prices and food prices. The theoretical part introduces the concept of biofuels, the grounds for introducing them and try to show some increase in prices of agricultural commodities as a result of biofuel production and their impact on fuel prices. Analytical part provides a method that allows you to calculate the limit price for 1 barrel RME (rape-seed methyl ester) using the change rate of CZK / USD and change in oil prices in USD per 1 barrel. The aim of this work is to assess the impact of biofuel production on food prices and fuel.
