The paper is focused on the evaluation of labour productivity in industry as a whole and in the selected branches in the Czech Republic in 1997–2001. The labour productivity index for employees is the ratio of industrial production indices and indices of the number of employees. Methods of regression and correlation analysis and development trends were applied for the mathematical-statistical analysis.

The paper is aimed at assessing the development of labour productivity in GDP (in PPS) per an employed person (EU15 = 100%). There were evaluated the countries of the EU and for comparison the USA and Japan in the reference period 1994 to 2003. Methods of regression and correlation analysis and development trends were used for the mathematical-statistical analysis. A strong increasing development trend is to observe in Ireland. The strongest decrease is in Italy and Germany. The development trend in the Czech Republic is slightly increasing.

The paper is aimed at the demand for beef. Its objective is to evaluate the development of beef consumption in the market of the Czech Republic, and particularly to identify the factors affecting the level of demand for beef. It refers to the analysis of the development of beef consumption in the Czech Republic depending on its price and costs of the selected kinds of its near substitutes, when their relationships are evaluated through their relationships are evaluated methods of regression and correlation analysis. The paper proves statistically the existence of relations among these crucial factors determining the demand. There are, of course, other factors affecting the position and tendency of a demand curve. It refers, for example, to various tastes, customs, traditions, the degree of urbanization, the possible health benefits or risks, legislation or the expected decline or increase of prices of the particular kinds of meat. All factors mentioned above cannot be, however, included into the analysis because their values are not available and many of them cannot be even quantified. Results of the statistical analysis prove the fundamental role of final consumers in forming the demand for beef, when they are above all affected by prices of beef and its substitutes.

Economic efficiency of the furniture production is closely associated with high input costs. Despite the fact that the material makes up 80% of total costs, there were 7,908 active furniture manufacturing companies in 2011 in the Czech Republic and they generated sales of nearly 30,812,199 thousand with an added value of CZK 9,592,032 thousands CZK and employed nearly 22,000 people. The aim of this paper is to assess the development of economic efficiency ratio indicator using return on equity (ROE hereinafter). The evaluation method was developed using statistical methods. The sample included 107 enterprises with more than 50 employees. For each company of the sample the ROE ratio was calculated and descriptive statistics and correlation analysis followed. Average ROE was 3.54% and the median was 3.3% in 2011. ROE of the sample in 2011 decreased compared to the base year 2007, which was the peak of the economic boom, the arithmetic average decreased by 74.68% and a median decrease was 63.7%. The linear trend of the sample and of the entire manufacturing industry had almost identical falling course of ROE development unlike the furniture industry in the Czech Republic. When using correlation analysis the tightness was in the arithmetic average of 30.42% and the tightness of the median was 39.00%.

The paper is focused on the evaluation the rates of employment and unemployment of women, men and as a whole in ten associated countries of EU. Rates of employment were evaluated in the period 1996-2002. Rates of unemployment were evaluated in the period 1996-2003. Employment of males in all ten associated countries of EU is higher then employment of females. Unemployment of females in the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia is higher than unemployment of males and in opposite unemployment of females in Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania and Latvia is lower than unemployment of males. Trends of rates of male, female and total employment and unemployment are evaluated. Methods of regression and correlation analysis, development trends and cluster analysis were applied for the mathematical-statistical analysis.

The paper is focused on the evaluation of the rates of employment and unemployment of women, men and in total in the EU, in associated countries of EU and for comparison in the USA and Japan. Rates of employment in the EU 15 together were evaluated in the period 1993–2002, in the associated states of the EU together in the period 1997–2002 and in the Czech Republic in the period 1998–2003. Rates of unemployment in the EU 15, USA and in Japan were evaluated in the period 1994–2003, in the associated states of EU in the period 1998-2003. Employment of males in the EU is higher then employment of females. Trends of rates of male, female and total employment is increasing. Trends of the rate of females are strongly increasing. Employment of males in the associated states of the EU is also higher than employment of females. Trends of the rates of male, female and total employment are increasing in the reference period. Unemployment in the EU is higher than unemployment in the USA and Japan, but lower then in associated states of the EU. Methods of regression and correlation analysis and development trends were applied for the mathematical-statistical analysis.

The paper is focused on assessing the development of the economic account for agriculture of the Czech Republic in the selected reference period 1998–2003. There were evaluated effects of the particular types of the economic accounts. Methods of regression and correlation analysis and development trends were used for the mathematical-statistical analysis. The plant production output similarly as the output of agricultural industry show an increasing tendency since the period under investigation reaching a peak about 2001 and in next years decreasing in difference to the gross value added at basic prices and the net value added at basic prices which shows an increasing trend throughout the period. Both animal output and the agricultural services output show a decreasing trend reaching a minimum about 2002.

This chapter shows how creativity is bounded with tourism development in the destination. It points out the influence of changes in visitors´ behavior on the destinations, defines creativity, and discusses the relation of culture and creativity in tourism. The chapter focuses on the relation between creativity and development of tourism in the Czech Republic´s regions in the pre-crisis, crisis and after-crisis period. The destinations were subjects to research using two multivariate methods i.e. canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and partial least squares (PLS). The chapter also makes suggestions for future studies.

The aim of the paper is to assess the situation and development of Czech agriculture by the production and economic ratios of a sample of farms. The development is evaluated using a database of farms from the Czech Republic since 2000, divided by the share of land included in the LFA. The year 2011 revealed a significant improvement in economic indicators over the previous year. A positive profit appeared in 95% of enterprises and economic results approached the results of 2007. An important trend is the reduction in the number of workers, when in 2011 the number of workers was equal to 70% to that in 2000, while labour productivity is increasing annually by an average of 7%. In the structure of production, the average farm revealed a revenue growth of crop production, the revenue from livestock production was declining, although the opposite trend appeared in mountain areas. In all categories of farms, there is a growing dependence on subsidies. Although the year 2011 was the second most productive since 2000, the profit after deducting subsidies was reached by 13% of farms only.
