Česká republika se společně s dalšími devíti evropskými státy automaticky účastní třetí fáze hospodářské a měnové unie, což znamená, že souhlasí s přijetím jednotné evropské měny. Mezi názory, proč nepospíchat s přijetím eura, patří otázky reálné a nominální konvergence. V této diplomové práci sleduji vztah mezi reálnou a nominální konvergencí pomocí Balassa-Samuelsonového efektu. Cílem práce je odpovědět na otázku, zda po přijetí jednotné evropské měny ?hrozí? v České republice vyšší míra inflace. V teoretické části se věnuji problematice Balassa-Samuelsonového efektu a jeho vlivu na plnění maastrichtského kritéria cenové stability. Jedna z kapitol je věnována příkladu konvergence Portugalska, které již jednotnou evropskou měnu v hotovostní podobě přijalo v roce 2002 a je jak rozlohou, počtem obyvatel tak i ekonomickými charakteristikami podobné České republice. V empirické části se pokusím pomocí analýzy časových řad odhadnout budoucí hodnoty CPI u jednotlivých skupin spotřebního koše podle dosavadního vývoje CPI.

Práce se zabývá ekonomickou analýzou kybernetického zločinu. Základním východiskem analýzy je model jednání racionálního kybernetického zločince rozhodujícího se o očekávaných nákladech a užitcích své činnosti vyjádřené v jednotkách peněžního ekvivalentu. Rozhodovací problém kybernetického zločince tvoří optimalizační úlohu z vzhledem k jeho nákladům. V rámci práce je odvozen rovnovážný optimální stav zločince. Další diskutovanou problematikou jsou metody boje proti kybernetickému zločinu a detailní rozbor metody zvýšené intenzity boje. Metoda zvýšené intenzity boje je založena na snižování počtu spáchaných kybernetických zločinů pomocí mechanismu zvyšujícího náklady zločincům. Mezní zločinci jsou v případě komerční varianty zločinu vytlačeni z trhu, zbývající alespoň sníží svoji produkci. Naopak pro specifickou verzi komunitní varianty zločinu tato metoda vede ke zvýšení trestné činnosti. Posledním tématem je interakce výrobců softwaru působícího síťové efekty, spotřebitelů a softwarových pirátů. Práce obsahuje model nerozvinutého a rozvinutého trhu a variantu s dokonalou cenovou diskriminací. Ukazuje se, že na rozvinutém trhu může monopolní výrobce softwaru svoji pozici vylepšit snahou o zvyšování intenzity boje se zločinem, přičemž v případě s cenovou diskriminací tento mechanismus nemá limit a teoreticky může působit až do úplného vymýcení softwarového pirátství.

Diploma thesis is concerned with the topic of relations between modern media and foreign policy. In a general context of this relation, we focused on the theory of CNN effect, describing it causes and particular manifestations mutual media and policy interactions. We try to analyze CNN effect on single case of armed conflict in Libya and its media coverage by influential American daily papers. By combination of existing scientific methods, we created adapted research method for our case, which is based on quantitative content analyses of all published articles with main topics - armed conflict in Libya - in the period of 33 days till the adoption of Security Council resolution. Main variables of our research was the date of publishing, articles range, section in newspaper and especially "value direction" of article in favor or not in favor of armed intervention to Libya. Analyses of media coverage of this topic were then confronted with factual analyses of topic in same time period. Results of our research confirmed potential relation between media coverage and US state department decision to intervene in Libya conflict. For absolute causality confirmation between these two variables would be necessary much more extensive research. Additional output of this research was confirmation of partial...

The diploma thesis deals with the value of the synergistic effect of companies in the group. The diploma is divided into two parts, namely theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part are described the main areas and procedures relating to company valuation. In the practical part was determined the resulting value of the equity capital of both companies and subsequently was determined the value of the synergistic effect at the date of 1.1.2013.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate merger failure rate and critical success factors that lie behind outcome of mergers. Based on many influential papers and studies it has been identified that mergers and M&A in general have high failure rate. After the literature research in M&A definition, history and studies already conducted in this field the own research is employed in order to achieve the main objective of this thesis. The quantitative research is conducted on mergers con-ducted from 2007 to 2010 in the Czech Republic. The qualitative analysis consists of semi-structured interviews with experts in M&A field.

In the diploma thesis, which is focused on the development of the welfare state, the development of the welfare state in economies with upper middle income is described. The theoretical part deals with an introduction to the theory of the welfare state, the most commonly used definitions and typologies. Following part focuses on the description of circumstances of the formation of the welfare state and the characteristics of its basic activities. The practical part is devoted to the description of the development of the welfare state in three countries, meeting the criterion of upper middle income, specifically in Argentina, Botswana and Brazil. For the purposes of subsequent comparison, the development of the welfare state in developed countries such as Germany, Great Britain and Sweden is briefly described. The final chapter deals with the time series analysis of social prosperity indicators and assessment of the indicator's development.

The object of this study is to describe overstory-understory neighbourhood effects in natural mountain mixed forests in environmental conditions of central Europe. Namely, the neighbourhood effect of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst. ). The sample plots are situated in central Slovakia. On 60 plots, counts of individuals of these species were recorded and divided by social status (from 6 cm of DBH). Regeneration of these species, was divided into 4 high categories. For 30 trees of each species, regeneration was also counted under specific crown in the area of 4 m2. The data was evaluated mainly by the generalized linear model in R statistical program. Here was evaluated the relationship between individuals of different categories of understory and overstory and the dependence between counts of regeneration of each species under specific crown. The strongest positive overstory-understory neighbourhood effect, was observed for the silver fir in all categories of regeneration (p<0.001). It also weakly negatively affected the regeneration of beech. For spruce, the positive neighbourhood effect was demonstrated only among the trees of upper level and saplings from 0.5 to 1.3 meters. Other categories of spruce saplings, were in too small quantities for demonstrating these relationships. Positive overstory-understory neighbourhood effect of beech was weak, or neutral for advanced regeneration. But seedlings to 0,5 m height, were in minimum quantity under spruce and fir crown. Beech also significantly negatively influenced all regeneration categories of silver fir (p<0.001). So, for each species, the overstory-understory neighbourhood effect is more or less positive, at least for lower height regeneration categories. This effect suggest also to small scale species stability of these forests.

The main aim of the dissertation is to quantify changes in agricultural land use and propose some solutions to reduce or compensate for quantitative and qualitative degradation of the agricultural land resources in the Czech Republic. Data (WTO, FAO, CIMSC, RISWC, CSO, FADN) are processed by the geographic associations index, environmental stability index, regression and correlation analysis and multi criteria analysis. The quality of the agricultural land is decreased in southern Moravia and central Bohemia (Voltr, 2012). The quality farmland is mainly reduced in agriculturally valuable soils, i.e. for soils with higher average official price. There is the largest quantitative loss of farmland above all in South-Moravian region and Zlín Region. A distinction of five soil quality classes is made. The large amount of land falls from the highest classes of protection in those two regions. The cultivation of certain crops (wheat, barley, canola, corn, perennial forage, permanent grassland) is located without scant regard for the production of soil conditions. It is not a good way from the agronomical perspective in the Czech Republic. Homogenization of arable crops and their range adversely can affect the long-term productive ability. Although above average high percentage of leased farmland is in the monitored regions, its influence on the GARE change was not statistically confirmed. The irrigation systems should affect the quality of agricultural land. However, the construction of new irrigation systems and the usability of many existing systems is economically limited and influenced by form of ownership too. Subsidies for the sustainability of the production capabilities of agricultural land (Rural Development Program) are paid not for prevention, but as result of erosion processes only. In the dissertation was created multi criteria analysis includes criteria, which can be potential causes reduction of the soil quality. They can simultaneously act on the degradation of agricultural land.

The aim of this thesis was to assess the effect of root exudates on the biodegradability of dissolved organic matter. The experiment was done in laboratory conditions, using the dissolved organic matter sampled in a spruce swamp forest located in Šumava National Park and an artificial mixture of root exudates prepared according to known composition of root exudates released by peatland plants. Main hypothesis was that the input of root exudates into the peatland pore water will affect decomposition of less-degradable dissolved organic matter, with the resulting effect dependent on the quantity and quality (C:N ratio) of the input.
