The paper analyses the pay system in a particular enterprise in the Czech Republic and proposes a change in this system. The establishment of two scales based on pay classes per month is proposed: one scale that allows for overlaps of pay classes but does not allow for overruns into other categories, and another scale that allows for no overlaps at all.The proposal of the modified pay system, which is brought forward in this paper, eliminates pay overruns into more distant classes. Only overlaps between adjacent tariff classes have been kept. The ranges of individual classes have been kept as well, but at a smaller magnitude. More specifically,...

Price development on fluid milk processing market and level of final consumer demand for this product

Pavel Syrovátka

Acta Univ. Agric. Silvic. Mendelianae Brun. 2004, 52(3), 59-68 | DOI: 10.11118/actaun200452030059  

The article is focused on the analysis of impact of the final consumer for milk on the price development on the fluid milk processing market. The impact research was based on the dynamic model of intermediate demand function in inverse form. There were examined two approaches for the dynamisation of developed models - the implicit and explicit approach. Implicit dynamic model, which was developed on the base of linear inverse demand function with time lag explanatory variable, wasn't acceptable in the view of the achieved results of statistical and economical verification. According to this developed model, the quarterly lag in the examined vertical...

Acta Univ. Agric. Silvic. Mendelianae Brun. 2004, 52(3), 69-78 | DOI: 10.11118/actaun200452030069  

Kernel smoothers belong to the most popular nonparametric functional estimates. They provide a simple way of finding structure in data. Kernel smoothing can be very well applied on the regression model. In the context of kernel estimates of a regression function, the choice of a kernel from the different points o view can be investigated. The main idea of this paper is to present construction of the optimal kernel and edge optimal kernel by means of the Gegenbauer and Legendre polynomial.

Odhady parametrů ekonomických modelů pomocí genetických algoritmů

Applicability of genetic algorithms to parameter estimation of economic models

Acta Univ. Agric. Silvic. Mendelianae Brun. 2004, 52(3), 79-86 | DOI: 10.11118/actaun200452030079  

The paper concentrates on capability of genetic algorithms for parameter estimation of non-linear economic models. In the paper we test the ability of genetic algorithms to estimate of parameters of demand function for durable goods and simultaneously search for parameters of genetic algorithm that lead to maximum effectiveness of the computation algorithm. The genetic algorithms connect deterministic iterative computation methods with stochastic methods. In the genteic aůgorithm approach each possible solution is represented by one individual, those life and lifes of all generations of individuals run under a few parameter of genetic algorithm.

In the last decade a new financial product - bankinsurance - became very popular on international financial markets. The cooperation between banks and insurance companies is based on the goal to achieve financial synergic effects and to make complex supply of financial services "under one roof". The aim of this article is to clarify possible positive and negative impacts of this form of cooperation. These impacts are shown on the fusion of Allianz and Dresdner Bank. Through this fusion arised the biggest company in the field of bankinsurance. Nowadays there are connected many problems with this fusion.

Efficient allocation of land between competing uses deserves attention, due both to market failure and government intervention failures. In order to devise efficient agro-environmental programs for the management of landscape amenities, it is important to understand individual's preferences. The purpose of this paper is, on the basis of the identification of the basic requirements of policy decision-making process, to assess the possibilities of integration of demand for landscape amenities protection to the agri-environmental policy.

Acta Univ. Agric. Silvic. Mendelianae Brun. 2004, 52(3), 167-176 | DOI: 10.11118/actaun200452030167  

Kernel smoothing provides a simple way for finding structure in data. The idea of the kernel smoothing can be applied to a simple fixed design regression model and a random design regression model. This article is focused on kernel smoothing for fixed design regression model with using special type of estimator, the Gasser-Müller estimator, and on choice of the bandwidth. At the end of this article figures for ilustration described methods on two data sets are shown. The first data set contains simulated values of function sin(2πx), the second contains January average temperatures measured in Basel 1755-1855.
