Analýza trhu železniční dopravy v ČR

This thesis deals with the analysis of the Czech railway transport, which still maintain their dominant position CD, joint-stock company. In the theoretical part I will introduce the concept of the Austrian school of economics on competition and monopoly. According to this concept, the monopoly is formed exclusively by the state through an artificially created barriers to entry into the industry. Subsequently, I will focus on the concept of regulation, which will be based on the ideas G. Stiegler, who has come up with the concept of regulation in the interest of the regulated. Based on the theory of the SBC I will analyze the status of the CD on the market for rail transport. The practical part will be therefore based on the following CD's analyzed position on the Czech market and I will apply theoretical knowledge to the case of Student Agency, limited company (resp. RegioJet, join-stock company), which has vainly trying to promote in this market. I will analyze here how tenders of regions (hence the Ministry of Transport) have taken place and why the above mentioned company hasn't gain access to the railway market in the CR. My goal is on the case of Czech Railways to confirm (or disprove) the conclusions of the Austrian theory that the only way to maintain a monopoly position in the market are government intervention in the form of artificially created barriers to entry into the industry.
