Economic Instruments of Environmental Protection
Štěpánová, Alice ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (referee)
Economic Instruments of Environmental Protection represent an important category of environmental policy tools that influence regulated entities indirectly and which are supposed to have a great potential for solving environmental problems. The thesis deals with regulation of these instruments not only in general, but mainly in the current Czech law and in relation to the protection of soil and pieces of land. The thesis consists of four parts which are subdivided into chapters. In Part 1 there is a short description of the evolution of environmental policy and its tools. Part 2 describes economic instruments in general, their functions and types (fees, taxes, tradable permits, instruments to ensure duties and responsibility, deposit-refund systems, customs duties, public (state) aid instruments). Part 3 deals with economic instruments in current Czech law and Part 4 contains a more detailed analysis of these instruments relating to the protection of soil and pieces of land. Economic instruments are analyzed and evaluated according to the application of the economic stimulation principle. The aim of the thesis is to highlight positive and negative aspects of the current legislation.

Financial and legal tools in the field of environmental protection
Maňák, David ; Marková, Hana (advisor) ; Boháč, Radim (referee)

Subchapter one defines the term of financial and legal tools of the environmental protection. Subchapter two examines the influencing of financial and legal tools. Subchapter three describes the externalities and their relation to environmental protection. The fourth subchapter outlines the functions of financial and legal tools of environmental protection.

Analysis of normative instruments of regulation within ecological policy on the example of EU Directive on industrial emissions.
Turková, Andrea ; Geuss, Erik (advisor) ; Branžovský, Antonín (referee)
Within the frame of the ecological policy, there exists a number of instruments for a protection of environment and to solve problems related to it. Single types of instruments are established on diferent principles which leads to long-lasting arguments of economists on fitness or unfitness for purpose. At the application of administrative instruments of regulation, as it is described by neoclassical economy theory, a question arises, if this strict solution is effective and practical in light of meeting targets of the environmental policy. Arguments which hold the view that the EU Directive on industrial emissions in the metallurgy sector implementation, as an above mentioned administrative instrument, is effective and practical can be displaced in case of comparison with well set alternative instrument - marketable emission licences.
