Master's thesis

Abstract:

The diploma thesis focuses on consumption of selected commodity - beef meat - and analyses its trend in the Czech Republic as well as suggests perspectives from consumer behaviour point of view. The theoretical part offers background and principles of consumer behaviour and consumption generally and introduces the beef meat as a commodity. The practical part of the thesis consists of two chapters. The introductory part is dedicated to the beef meat analysis with an emphasis on situation in the Czech Republic. In the following chapter of this thesis an econometric model is assembled based on the formulated determinants of beef meat consumption in the Czech Republic. Within the framework of the econometric model the parameters are calculated and consequently verified. Furthermore the interpretation of resulting values is performed followed by a model application including ex-ante and ex-post analysis.
