Komparace vývoje veřejných rozpočtů v jednotlivých politických cyklech od vzniku České republiky do roku 2015 / Comparation of development of public budgets at particular political cycles in Czech Republic since 1993 to 2015Křeček, Štěpán January 2015 (has links)
The paper provides a comprehensive overview of public budgets in the Czech Republic, focusing on government budgets. The thesis compares the development of fiscal policies in distinct political cycles in the modern era of the Czech Republic. This allows for the analysis of the influence of the fiscal policies on the development of distinct macroeconomic indicators which then makes possible the evaluation of the success of different approaches to budget making. The preparation of public budgets is a periodical activity which happens at all levels of public governance. Therefore, the paper thoroughly analyzes preceding budgets and attempts to reveal the errors make by our governments. A deductive method is used with these analyses and their comparisons to make the foundation for general principles which can be used for the improvement of the budget planning in the Czech Republic.

Analýza konjunkturálních průzkumů / Analysis of the Business Cycle SurveysBallarinová, Marie January 2012 (has links)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to describe the problematic of business cycle and consumer surveys and represent their current development and usage. The secondary objective is to link economical and statistical bonds of business cycle surveys. First, the work describes the basic definition of business cycle surveys and their users. Further it is graphically and theoretically evaluating the current development of particular confidence indicators and their sub-questions. Subsequently is in frame of the current economic development compared development of leading indicators with the development of gross domestic product (calculated using the production method) using the HP filter. In the last part of the work are modeled one-dimensional ARIMA time series models of branch confidence indicators. Result of the work is business cycle surveys analysis in terms of basic economical and statistical ties. Completed work should serve as a material to understand business cycle survey and their importance in frame of economy development.

Produto interno bruto ajustado ambientalmente para Amazônia legal brasileira: uma análise de matriz de insumo-produto e matriz de contabilidade social / Environmental gross domestic product for Brazilian Legal Amazon: an analysis of input-output matrix and social accounting matrix.Andrea Castelo Branco Brasileiro 13 November 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this work was to present and apply an analytical tool to the flows of goods and income between economic agents and the environment that allows us to calculate the Environmental Gross Domestic Product (EGDP) for Brazilian Legal Amazon. In order to achieve this goal the Environmental Social Accounting Matrix (ESAM) was developed. The model was developed from the traditional Social Accounting Matrix, the Environmental Input-Output Analysis Models, and from the United Nations handbook on the System of Integrated Environmental and Economic Accountings. The EGDP was calculated from the Environmental Input-Output Analysis, since the unavailability of data did not allow the application of the model of ESAM. The flows between the economy and the environment considered were the emissions of green house gases (depreciation of natural capital) and the investment needed to return the air to the same quality it had before being polluted. The results showed that the inclusion of depreciation of natural capital in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and in the added value (AV) calculation for each industry of the Brazilian Legal Amazon Region diminished the AV significantly in the industries of cattle (235%), soybean (77%), and other activities of livestock and agricultural (24%). In the Rest of Brazil, the industries with the highest impact of depreciation of natural capital on AV were soybean (30%), cattle (15%) and sugarcane (13%). The total EGDP of the Brazilian Legal Amazon Region was 15% smaller than its total GDP, whereas this difference for the rest of Brazil was 1%. Considering that the GDP is a component of economic wellbeing, the results show a significant reduction in economic wellbeing due to green house gas emissions released into the air by economic activities, mainly due to land use changes. The Environmental Social Accounting Matrix Model is a useful tool to help decision makers since it offers an analytical instrument for economic behavior and the impacts of economic activities on the environment. / The purpose of this work was to present and apply an analytical tool to the flows of goods and income between economic agents and the environment that allows us to calculate the Environmental Gross Domestic Product (EGDP) for Brazilian Legal Amazon.

Management stavebních investic regionů / Management of construction investments in the regionsVaňková, Lucie Unknown Date (has links)
The doctoral thesis deals with the management of regions construction investments. The aim of the doctoral thesis is to monitor the efficiency of the regions of the Czech Republic, which is pursue by gross domestic product indicator and investment activities that are held in the regions. Investment activity is observed in detailed breakdowns on the projects of civil engineering and transport infrastructure. Very important source of construction activity in recent years have become the European funds. Therefore the thesis observe the dependence of the projects on EU financial support. The main outcome of this doctoral thesis is to identify a possible link between the performance of individual regions of the Czech Republic and investment activities occurring here.

“Accumulation by Dispossession” by the Global Extractive Industry: The Case of CanadaKinuthia, Wanyee 13 November 2013 (has links)
This thesis draws on David Harvey’s concept of “accumulation by dispossession” and an international political economy (IPE) approach centred on the institutional arrangements and power structures that privilege certain actors and values, in order to critique current capitalist practices of primitive accumulation by the global corporate extractive industry. The thesis examines how accumulation by dispossession by the global extractive industry is facilitated by the “free entry” or “free mining” principle. It does so by focusing on Canada as a leader in the global extractive industry and the spread of this country’s mining laws to other countries – in other words, the transnationalisation of norms in the global extractive industry – so as to maintain a consistent and familiar operating environment for Canadian extractive companies. The transnationalisation of norms is further promoted by key international institutions such as the World Bank, which is also the world’s largest development lender and also plays a key role in shaping the regulations that govern natural resource extraction. The thesis briefly investigates some Canadian examples of resource extraction projects, in order to demonstrate the weaknesses of Canadian mining laws, particularly the lack of protection of landowners’ rights under the free entry system and the subsequent need for “free, prior and informed consent” (FPIC). The thesis also considers some of the challenges to the adoption and implementation of the right to FPIC. These challenges include embedded institutional structures like the free entry mining system, international political economy (IPE) as shaped by international institutions and powerful corporations, as well as concerns regarding ‘local’ power structures or the legitimacy of representatives of communities affected by extractive projects. The thesis concludes that in order for Canada to be truly recognized as a leader in the global extractive industry, it must establish legal norms domestically to ensure that Canadian mining companies and residents can be held accountable when there is evidence of environmental and/or human rights violations associated with the activities of Canadian mining companies abroad. The thesis also concludes that Canada needs to address underlying structural issues such as the free entry mining system and implement FPIC, in order to curb “accumulation by dispossession” by the extractive industry, both domestically and abroad.
