This dissertation is attempting to estimate the effects of infrastructure on the economic performance in the sample of European countries. I created two models which try to estimate different impacts of infrastructure on the economy. First of them is based on the Cobb-Douglas production function which estimates the direct effect. Second, is the model based on the Holtz-Eakin and Schwartz approach which measures the spatial spillovereffect.

The thesis is focused on concept of manufacturing technology for rotary part in case of mass production. The main aim was established suitable manufacturing technology for rotary part, choosing lathe machine, cutting tools and creating of NC program. The part of diploma thesis contains configuration of lathe machine in software Sinumerik. Document includes also the basic rules for developing NC program for two channels lathe.

This work aims to explain what the production flow means, what methods are known for the analysis and to introduce us the company. It is also to introduce the process of painting and grinding within the company. Concept of the first part is the actual production flow and its division. The following chapters handle the methods of its analysis. The second part describes the company itself. It includes the introduction of the company, of the product and description of the painting process and grinding. In the last part of the work was made economic evaluation of these proposals.

The subjekt of the diploma thesis „The Study of Purchasing with the linkage to Production Processes“ is to analyze actual situation of the purchasing logistics processes with the linkage to effective suplier-concumer relationships. In the theoretical part there will be an introduction of our chosen company Robe show lighting s.r.o. and its business focus. We will explain general principles and methods of purchasing logistics. The practical part contains an analysis of actual situation of logistics processes of the company, such as ordering, purchasing, stock management, transportation and storage. Based on this analysis we will suggest several improvements to achieve uninterrupted production process with optimum costs.

Soil crediting in the Czech Republic is based on so-called land boned soil-ecological units (BPEJ), this unit serves to evaluate both absolute and relative production capacity of agricultural land. The thesis points out the need to update this system, caused mainly by climate change, which causes the shift of the existing climate regions but also the emergence of new (not yet classified) climate regions. These changes have a direct impact on soil production capacity. In the thesis there is an overview of legal regulations that are influenced by the system of certified soil-ecological units (BPEJ).

The thesis deals with the estimation and evaluation of efficiency of the companies operating within the automotive industry in the European Union. Due to its im-portance for many economies, the theoretical part of the thesis describes the cur-rent situation of this sector and more attention is also paid to the concept of effi-ciency and productivity. In the empirical part, by using output and input variables, Stochastic frontier analysis was selected to measure the efficiency of the automo-tive firms. Source annual accounting data of the companies was obtained from the Orbis database from 2014 to 2017. The models were estimated using different out-put variables and different random component distributions. Attention was also paid to the efficiency of the selected companies and to the possible impact of the company size on its efficiency. Using Pearson and Spearman correlation coeffi-cients, it has been found that the distribution of the random component and the choice of different output variables did not affect the efficiency and resulting rank-ing of the companies. On average, larger companies achieved greater efficiency in the reporting period.

The thesis is focused on the issues of ecosystem services and functions of forests. The aim is to evaluate the students' awareness of the importance of ecosystem services and functions of forests and the subsequent comparison with the results of foreign studies. Literature research is devoted to the concept of ecosystem services and functions of forests, their description and classification. It also characterizes the concepts of forest, nature and landscape protection, the species composition and forest health. Own work involves methodological basis and characteristics of survey respondents. Subsequently evaluated questionnaire aimed at the students' awareness of the importance of ecosystem services and functions of forests. The results are divided into two parts corresponding to the partial aims of the thesis. Following the evaluation of the questionnaire is in the discussion an international comparison of the results with foreign studies. The conclusion summarizes the obtained knowledge and evaluates the fulfilment of objectives.

Geometric programming is a special case of nonlinear programming, where objective function and constraints are shaped as posynomials. In this work we introduce geometric programming and solving methods. In~last chapter we will apply the geometric programming to Cobb-Douglas production function, create a model with random demand and possible extensions of this model. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The thesis deals with the analysis of Nachod and Tachov regions' economic structure. The aim of this work is to discover the range and character of differences between these regional economic structures within a national innovation system. Regions showing approximately similar vertical geographic position were chosen for the analysis deliberately, however they differ in various actualities, such as, for instance, their position in terms of west-east gradient, or more precisely horizontal geographic position. Based on the analysis of the relationship between the suppliers and consumers, manufacturing programmes, and not least ownership structures, the basic typology of the economic subjects from the manufacturing industry was executed. The results of this analysis point out significant dependence of the Tachov region on the activities of foreign investors and underdeveloped entrepreneurial environment. Nachod region reports, in the interregional comparison, better results in assessing the economic structure and features clearly more endogenous regional development than Tachov region. Key words: global production network, regional innovation system, manufacturing industry, economic structure

This thesis deals with the evaluating efficiency of Czech banks using data envelopment analysis (DEA), which is a method based on mathematical programming. Each bank is then evauluated with the relative efficiency coefficient that indicates the efficiency or inefficiency of the particular bank. The work is further developed the classical approach of bank performance measuring in comparison to DEA, researches that have applied DEA models to evaluate banks in the past in different countries and detailed analysis of the results of the precessed model.
