Model of Economic Impact of the Hypothetical Implementation of Guaranteed Income in the Czech Republic on the basis of data from 2015
Busta, David ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Kovanda, Lukáš (referee)
The bachelor´s thesis compares models of social systems based on basic income and negative income tax with the current system. The first model represents the current system. Two models are based on the concept of basic income. One of them is funded through value-added tax, the other is funded through income tax. The last model is based on negative income tax. All models replace all the social incomes with basic income or negative income tax. The comparison is based on absolute differences, tax burdens and changes in income inequality, which is measured by Lorenz's curve and Gini's coefficient. The results indicate that the introduction of new systems would be relatively costly. The lowest income groups would benefit most.

The Basic Income concept in the perspective of Agent-Based modelling
Macháček, Vít ; Janský, Petr (advisor) ; Malovaná, Simona (referee)
The Basic Income concept in the perspective of Agent-Based modelling Abstract: The thesis study the relationship between the basic income introduction and the price level. The basic income would replace the existing social security. The resulting redistribution induce changes in the aggregate demand through the concave consumption function. The aggregate demand in turn affect the price creation mechanism. Because the price level is a result of activity of many different agents with private motivation and information, the work used a simple macroeconomic agent-based model to isolate the relationship. The simulation however did not succeed in isolating the possible link between the price level and the basic income introduction.

Basic Income and its possible implementation in the Czech Republic
Mairovský, Štěpán ; Hrubec, Marek (advisor) ; Háva, Petr (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the concept of (unconditional) basic income as a policy instrument and the conditions, costs and possible consequences of its full or partial implementation in the Czech Republic. The first aim of the diploma thesis is to describe this concept, which is still rather unknow in the Czech Republic, and put it into the context of Public and Social Policy. The diploma thesis decribes its alternative models, which are - in certain extent - interchangeable with it as well as the praxis of the basic income in the world The author tries to identify the main problems within the system of today's social policy and with respect to them put forward the main reason for the implementation of the basic income in the Czech Republic. Finally, some models and ways of implementation are presented as well as the estimation of the costs and possible consequences of their implementation. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Comparison of negative income tax models
Havlíková, Iveta ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
We are comparing the economic models of state social support which utilize the concept of the negative income tax. The comparison builds upon the overview of the main theoretical articles. We have analysed the proposals of various political parties regarding the negative income tax; in case of a Czech party's proposal of replacing a set of subsidies with the negative income tax, we have calculated the overall expected savings. For the purpose of the overall comparison, we selected the models of Friedman, Tobin, Sulik and the Earned Income tax Credit model. We benchmarked them in various theoretical and practical criteria. We conclude that they do not differ substantially except for their philosophical interpretation.
