Effect of the 2020 parental benefit increase in the Czech Republic on labor supply
Šarboch, Matěj ; Pertold, Filip (advisor) ; Pertold-Gebicka, Barbara (referee)
Family policies can have significant impacts on individuals' behaviour in the labor mar- ket. Parental benefits policies are a prominent example. In 2020, the Czech government increased the amount of benefits paid out to parents from 220,000 CZK to 300,000 CZK. This thesis studies the effects of this reform on parents' labor supply using a difference- in-differences identification and the Labor force survey collected by the Czech Statistical Office. The results show that mothers with their youngest child being 2 or 3 years old significantly decreased their usual weekly hours worked as well as their labor force par- ticipation rate as a result of this reform. Mothers with a university degree and mothers with only one child are the most affected groups. This thesis is the first analysis of this reform and it contributes to the existing literature on effects of family policy changes and also serves as the public policy evaluation.

The use of graduates of the Physical Education and Sport study program at Charles University Faculty of Physical Education and Sport on the labor market
Omcirk, Vilém ; Čáslavová, Eva (advisor) ; Hobza, Vladimír (referee) ; Němec, Otakar (referee)
This dissertation thesis deals with the use of full-time Masters' graduates of the Physical Education and Sport study program at Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at Charles University on the labor market. In the theoretical part a review of the current state of knowledge about the use of graduates on the labor market was completed, especially university graduates. On the basis of this review the construct of the use of Charles University Faculty of Physical Education and Sport graduate was operationalized and the main tool of the survey, the electronic questionnaire, was compiled. The basic set of the survey was formed by the graduates of the full-time Masters' studies program between the years 2010 and 2015 in the fields of Secondary School Teaching (double-subject), Physical Education and Sport (single-subject), Military Physical Education and Sports Management. 346 responses from 671 questionnaires were obtained (52% return rate). In the result part collected data was first analyzed by the chi-square test on the basis of 3 identification variables (gender of the respondents, field of study and year of graduation) and subsequently individual results of the survey were presented. These results were mainly related to respondents' transition to the labor market after having finished Masters'...

Analysis of the impact of introducing an unconditional basic income in the Czech Republic
Donát, Michal ; Pavelka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Soukupová, Jana (referee)
The technological revolution that is currently underway is building on the foundations of machine learning, exponential speed of technological development and digitalization. Machines in near future will become cheaper and more efficient and will replace human workers in a wide range of disciplines. Diploma thesis summarizes the reasons and consequences of current technological development and presents an unconditional basic income as the tool for ensuring a sustainable level of social equality. Using the real numbers from the Czech Republic it shows that the introduction of an unconditional basic income is rather a problem of cultural and social than economic. Basic income in future may become an effective tool in the fight against human poverty, especially in the environment where demand for human labor becomes scarce.

Providing emergency supply of nuclear power plants
ROZMILER, Jiří
Work "Providing emergency power nuclear power plant" describes how solving their own consumption nuclear power plant, as emergency power supply is designed and how it should be a solution of known states of emergency, having an immediate impact on the power consumption of their own nuclear power plants. The aim of this thesis is to propose options to strengthen its own emergency power consumption of nuclear power plants, one might say-more resistant to harsh extremes, which could lead to loss of employment, reserve and emergency power, that is the condition called Station Black Out (SBO) - total loss of power. The work also includes calculations of short-circuit ratios emergency resources considered as strengthening, as well as the calculation of acceleration heaviest drive and a summary of the overall impacts of the proposed hardening.

Jsou pražští žebráci jako newyorští taxikáři?
Šilhavá, Dana ; Bartoň, Petr (advisor) ; Janíčko, Martin (referee)
I explore Prague beggars' decision making about their daily work hours. Begging is posited as supplying a service, in the case of Prague with barriers to entry on the production side, with the Charles Bridge as the extreme monopoly example. Financial analysis of the self-employed beggars' wages, expenses and wage rate determinants offers many insights about the workings of the market. I contrast 2 possible models of labor supply: intertemporal substitution and income targeting, representing respectively the concepts of maximizing and satisficing: Maximizers adjust their day's work-hours to the days' varying wage rate, whereas satisficers bracket decisions narrowly and set daily income targets to be reached. 37 of the 43 Prague beggars sampled are found to be satisficers in much the same way as New York City cabdrivers (Camerer 1997); however, this is often a perfectly rational response to the specific constraints of the beggar's profession (e.g. social tax, lack of savings opportunities), satisficing is thus much more justifiable in their case.
