How many people is killed by the Czech Government policy annually?

This thesis analyzes the impact of changes in gas prices on road fatal accidents in the Czech Republic between 1999 - 2009. The use of heavier cars is connected with higher gas consumption that we can expect from the increasing fuel prices that will lead to a substitution of heavier cars by smaller cars. This substitution offers lower level of safety to its user. The first part of the analyze is focused on the link between changes in the size structure of cars in the Czech Republic and the fatalities. Regression analyze shows a significant link between this variables and it leads to a fact that number of people killed in an accident decreases by increase of heavier and decrease of lighter cars. The second part of the analyze is focused on the price of gas - are sales influenced by the price or not? The analyze does not prove this influence is statistically significant. The period observed is not a proof that the government is influencing the fatalities by fuel taxes
