Acta Univ. Agric. Silvic. Mendelianae Brun. 2004, 52(6), 45-54 | DOI: 10.11118/actaun200452060045  

A number of object-oriented (OO) variants have so far been devised for Petri Nets (PN). However, none of these variants has ever been described using an open, independent format - such as XML. This article suggests several possibilities and advantages of such a description. The outlined XML language definition for the description of object-oriented Petri Nets (OOPN) is based on XMI (description of UML object-oriented models), SOX (simple description of general OO systems) and PNML (an XML-based language used for the description of structured and modular PN). For OOPN, the XML form of description represents a standard format for storing as well as for...

Acta Univ. Agric. Silvic. Mendelianae Brun. 2004, 52(6), 67-76 | DOI: 10.11118/actaun200452060067  

Using tax allowances when providing contributions for life insurance, pension insurance and food, employers significantly decrease their costs in comparison with the traditional increase of wages of employees (the saves range in several hundreds of crowns per one employee). These benefits are more profitable than increase of wages for employees, as well. The paper analyses and mathematically reasons these financial benefits, and compares advantages of employee benefits and wage increase.A disadvantage for employees is that these financial means (contributions for pension and life insurance) can not be immediately used for their needs, and are bound...

Podpora krajinotvorné funkce zemědělství a liberalizace trhu

Support of the landscape amenity function of agriculture and trade liberalisation

Acta Univ. Agric. Silvic. Mendelianae Brun. 2004, 52(6), 77-86 | DOI: 10.11118/actaun200452060077  

Recent agricultural policy and trade discussions have given increasing attention to "multifunctionality", the notion, that agriculture provides multiple outputs that include public goods (such as landscape amenities) as well as privately traded commodities. A frequent point of contention is also whether payment for the provision of non-commodity outputs distorts trade by giving domestic farmers a competitive advantage over foreign competitors. The paper reviews some requirements for environmental policy design and the role of property rights for the justification of the development of compensation programs targeted to landscape protection. The second...

Acta Univ. Agric. Silvic. Mendelianae Brun. 2004, 52(6), 119-128 | DOI: 10.11118/actaun200452060119  

Agriculture is not any more viewed only as an industry ensuring nutrition of population, but also its non-production benefit has growing importance. This holds especially for the areas with extensive agriculture, where main product of agriculture is landscape preservation and restoration, and other environmental and social benefits, and where agricultural production is neither main objective nor source of income of agricultural producers. Especially in Europe, where agriculture historically played an important role in landscape formation and determined the development of social structures in rural regions, becomes this non-production function of agriculture...

Danuše Nerudová

Acta Univ. Agric. Silvic. Mendelianae Brun. 2004, 52(6), 135-144 | DOI: 10.11118/actaun200452060135  

The article deals with the problems of tax competition and harmonization within the European Union. It reveals the single difficulties connected with harmonization, identifies the problems arising from tax competition and points out the harmful tax competition as well. Single compulsory harmonized tax base in connection with prevailing tax competition in the area of tax rates is the suggested solution in the scope of direct taxation. As the solution in the area of indirect taxation could serve the introduction of "principle of origin". This would cause remarkable administrative costs decrease not only for economic subjects but for tax authorities as well.

In comparison with EU countries, the Czech insurance market is behind in 2 global indicators: the ratio of premiums written to GDP and the share of life insurance in total premiums written.

Václav Mastný

Acta Univ. Agric. Silvic. Mendelianae Brun. 2004, 52(6), 277-286 | DOI: 10.11118/actaun200452060277  

This paper deals with the efficiency of the high-frequency foreign exchange market. The objective of this paper is to investigate whether standard statistical tests give the same results for time series resampled at intervals of 15.30 and 60 min. The data used for the purpose of this paper contain major currency pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD and JPY/USD. The results of statistical tests indicate that the high frequency intervals (15-minute) are not random and should not be considered independent. On the other hand, tests with lower frequency rates (30 and 60 min) indicate rising randomness of the market.
