Faktory ovlivňující výdaje studentů VŠE

According to the classical Keynesian consumption function, it is known that consumers' expenditures are affected by their disposable income. This thesis is dedicated to the estimation of consumption function of students studying at the University of Economics in Prague using regression analysis by means of the Ordinary Least Squares method. This thesis assumes that student's income is not the only factor determining their expenses. Thus, the next part of the thesis explores a regression model that does not include the income. This model tries to encompass factors which could possibly affect income of students studying at the University of Economics in Prague. The thesis describes the construction of both regression models, including their econometric verification. Finally, the found results are interpreted and factors influencing student's expenditures are summarized. The variables involved in the models are generated using data that was collected through a questionnaire.
