O objetivo desse trabalho é compreender o papel de um ativo específico, os imóveis residenciais, na recuperação americana a partir de 2002, em que se destacaram a expansão do consumo das famílias e do investimento residencial. O ciclo de preço dos imóveis esteve condicionado pela política monetária expansiva do Federal Reserve e pela flexibilidade do sistema americano de financiamento residencial. A centralidade que o crédito ocupa na análise sobre os ciclos do tipo financial led e sua importância para a efetivação da compra do imóvel pelas famílias fez com que esse sistema de financiamento fosse enfatizado / Abstract: With the improvement of financial deregulation and liberalization, the assets cycles have exercised increasing influence over the expenditure decision in developed economies, specially the USA. The purpose of this work is to understand the role of a specific asset, the housing, in the American recovery since 2002, from when the increasing of consumer expenditures and residential investment has stood out. The cycle of housing price was conditioned by the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and by the flexibility of the American housing financial system. This system was emphasized due to the central role of credit in the analysis of financial led cycles and its importance for the house buyer / Mestrado / Mestre em Economia

The diploma thesis deals with issues concerning the creation o internal corporate guidelines. The theoretical part focuses on internal corporate guidelines more broadly and on their creation and content. Furthermore the thesis deals with payables with regard to new legal requirements. In the practical part I have proposed the internal corporate guideline titled "Definition of principles for the creation and management of allowances."

The increasing volume of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has led to the creation of European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). This system should also fulfil an incentive function to reduce emissions. The EU ETS also participates in revenues of the state budgets. This master thesis deals with impacts of EU ETS on revenues of state budgets for each member states of this system. The thesis is compiled with calculations of revenues of state budgets. This methodology is then applied to the assessment of the impact of auctioning of emission allowances on the Czech state budget and is demonstrated on three possible scenarios.

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the importance of coal-fired power plants on the market of electric energy, with emphasis on aspects that fundamentally affect their production. Coal-fired power plants belongs nowadays among socially unpopular source of electricity. In recent decades intensively growing interest groups that support state intervention and regulation of the energy sector. This is essentially a massive promotion of renewable energy sources at the expense of fossil fuel plants. Analysis of individual power sources shows that despite the current restrictive measures imposed on power plants burning fossil fuels, and especially coal-fired power plants, electricity produced from coal resources is still competitive, despite some drawbacks has many positive qualities. Coal-fired power plants produce higher amounts of greenhouse gases and other pollutants than other types of power plants. On the other hand, they are able to provide a stable supply of electricity to transmission network, and thus partially offset the high volatility of electricity supply from renewable energy sources. The price of electricity from coal-fired power plants could be considered as relatively low in comparison with other energy sources. The analysis shows that in terms of practical economic policy is not economically justified to reduce the proportion of coal-fired power plants in the total production of electricity.

The graduation thesis concerns the system of family support in France whose position among other national family policies is exceptional, as are the positive natality results. Historical development of French family policy has got considerably deep roots and its functioning has practically not changed since the World War Two. French system relies on a few specific features of which can be mentioned the family allowances awarded to families with two children in minimum independently of family earnings, preference of three-children family model, important role of tax-based instruments and organised representation of family interests. Also specialized help destined to incomplete families and populous families can not be forgotten. Because of the existence of the other ways of support the total financial expenditures in favour of families can not be reduced only to direct support represented by family grants which is often represented in international statistics. Another related problem is the living conditions of families with children, which is in general lower. In France thanks to all the assistance the living conditions get more favorable whereas the families with three and more children being the most advantaged. The system of French family policy can be compared with the Czech system. Situation in the Czech Republic is different especially as regards the magnitude of direct aid which was the main method of family support and targeted the poorest families. But by means of reforms and recently proposed measures the situation has been changing and the possible access to certain attributes of French system can be observed.

Emission trading allowances are one of the new instrument of the environmental protection, which is, as an EU ETS component, influencing almost 400 czech companies with just about 500 air polluting sources in the Czech republic. This diploma thesis deals with the main impact of the EU ETS on the czech companies. The analysis is focused on the first trading period 2005 -- 2007 and on the first year of the second trading period 2008 -- 2012. Methodology of the analysis is based on the qualitative research with individual in-depth interviews with czech companies and is focused on the research of induced costs and diverse approach and motivations of the large and small companies within the EU ETS

Introduction of emission trading scheme of tradable permits become a great phenomena among energy business agents. Each emitter of CO2 is granted or allocated definite amount of tradable permitts. These allow him to produce one tonne of CO2 or to sell them on the spot or forvard market. Since these tradable permits became valuable (behave as a commercial instrument) they carry two possible usage. To be consumed when producing MWh of energy of to be sold on the market. These alternative usage are according to economy theory opportunity costs, therefore should be considered as the implicit costs and implemented into the price setting. When operating on competitive market, this cost increase should be fully passed on to the price. In this paper we analyze this pass-through of the permits costs. By using regression analysis we try to estimate the pass-through rate of the permits costs in power energy market. We analyze the spot and futures market in the Czech Republic (PXE) and in Germany (EEX). Estimated pass through rate ranges between 0,65 and 1,2. The results emphasize that the energy market is quite competitive, because the costs are more or less fully passed on consumers. One interesting feature arose from results. The pass-through rate greater than one is sort of economically counter-intuitive and should be studied in more detail in some future work.

The aim of this work is to characterize the main determinants influencing the development of electricity prices. Beginnings are dedicated to the description of regulated elements of electricity bill and their development over the last period. The second part deals with power electricity and its development in the spot and futures market. The paper describes the emergence of energy prices on the market and the main determinants affecting the supply and demand curves, such as the price of emission allowances, increasing production from renewable energy and the price of energy raw materials. Part of the work is also analysis of the impact of market coupling on the market price of electricity daily market. The conclusion is devoted to seasonal fluctuations in electricity prices representing the time series.

This thesis analyzes the implementation of the EU emission trading scheme (EU ETS) in comparison with the electronization of public administration, the level of development of information society, and the approach to the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions in selected EU member states (the Czech republic, Slovakia, France, Italy, the United Kingdom). The main subject of this thesis is, whether the process of the implementation of EU ETS fits into the general conceptions of e-government in selected countries, or whether it stands individually. The EU system of emission trading is an european e-government service, and that is also the reason why its implementation depends significantly on the maturity of use of information and communication technologies within public administration in selected countries. This thesis is divided into three main sections, the first chapter contains the comparative analysis of the level of development of the electronization of public administration in selected countries, the second chapter contains the analysis of available information about the implementation of EU ETS in these states, and the third chapter compares the results from both previous sections, and contains the answers to the main questions mentioned above.

Métodos: foi realizado um estudo do tipo corte transversal na cidade de Campinas ¿ SP que incluiu 1052 mulheres no puerpério imediato, internadas em três maternidades selecionadas, com recém-nascido vivo e gestação única. As participantes foram entrevistadas e responderam às questões sobre dados sociodemográficos e os dados da gestação, do parto, do recém-nascido foram extraídos dos prontuários. O peso pré-gestacional, peso na última consulta e altura da mulher foram extraídos do cartão de pré-natal. Também foi realizada uma revisão sistemática dos artigos que avaliaram as recomendações sobre ganho de peso na gestação em mulheres brasileiras e a adequação do ganho poderal nessas mulheres. Resultados: Nos dados originais da cidade de Campinas encontramos que 13,6% das mulheres eram obesas e 24,6% apresentavm sobrepeso, e que nesses grupos o ganho de peso excessivo foi de 55,9% e 53,7% respectivamente. O sobrepeso e a obesidade se associaram com maior risco para ganho de peso excessivo e parto cesariana. A prematuridade foi mais prevalente nas obesas e em mulheres com baixo IMC pré-gestacional. Na revisão sistemática foram incluídos 17 estudos, verificou-se que não existe padronização das recomendações brasileiras para ganho de peso, as recomendações utilizadas foram as do Institue of Medicine, curva de Atalah e recomendações do Ministério da Saúde. Uma grande parte das mulheres brasileiras inicia a gestação com sobrepeso e obesidade e tende a ganhar peso excessivo na gestação. A metanálise avaliou quatro estudos e verificou que gestantes com sobrepeso apresentaram mais ganho de peso excessivo do que gestantes eutróficas (OR=2,80, IC95%=2,22-3,53). Conclusão: não existe padronização nas recomendações brasileiras para o ganho de peso gestacional e as gestantes com sobrepeso e obesidade são as de maior risco para ganho de peso gestacional excessivo e parto por cesariana. Há necessidade de padronizar as orientações de ganho ponderal na gestação para a população brasileira, os profissionais de saúde e as mulheres, auxiliando dessa forma o conhecimento e melhor adequação do ganho de peso pelas gestantes, melhorando os resultados maternos e neonatais / Abstract: Objectives: To determine the gestational weight gain women of Campinas - SP, the recommendations used in Brazil for weight gain during pregnancy and the proportion of women who join these recommendations. Methods: We performed a study of transversal in the city of Campinas - SP which included 1052 women postpartum, admitted to three hospitals selected with a live newborn and single pregnancy. Participants were interviewed and answered questions about sociodemographic data and the data of pregnancy, childbirth, newborn were extracted from medical records. The pre-pregnancy weight, weight at last visit and height of women were taken from the prenatal card. It was also performed a systematic review of articles assessing the recommendations on weight gain during pregnancy in Brazilian women and the adequacy of ponderal gain in these women. Results: In the original data from Campinas found that 13.6% of women were obese and 24.6% apresentavm overweight, and that these groups gain excessive weight was 55.9% and 53.7% respectively. Overweight and obesity were associated with increased risk for excessive weight gain and cesarean birth. Prematurity was more prevalent in obese and in women with low pre-pregnancy BMI. In the systematic review were included 17 studies, it was found that there is no standardization of Brazilian recommendations for weight gain, the recommendations used were the Institue of Medicine, Atallah curve and the Ministry of Health's recommendations. A large part of Brazilian women start pregnancy overweight and obesity and tends to gain excessive weight during pregnancy. The meta-analysis evaluated 4 studies and found that overweight pregnant women had more excessive weight gain than normal weight pregnant women (OR = 2.80, 95% CI 2.22 to 3.53 =). Conclusion: there is no standardization in Brazilian recommendations for weight gain during pregnancy and pregnant women with overweight and obesity are the most at risk for excessive gestational weight gain and cesarean delivery. There is a need to standardize pondeal gain guidelines during pregnancy for the Brazilian population, health professionals and women, helping in this way the knowledge and best adequacy of weight gain for pregnant women, improving maternal and neonatal outcomes / Mestrado / Saúde Materna e Perinatal / Mestra em Ciências da Saúde
