Faktory ovlivňující zůstatkovou hodnotu osobních automobilů v ČR

Diploma thesis focuses on residual value of passenger cars in the Czech Republic. The aim is to find out, which factors and in which way affect the residual value. Accurate prediction of residual value is crucial for companies offering passenger cars on operating lease. The focus is not only on the impact of technical characteristics of a vehicle on its residual value but also on possibilities of improving predictions of residual value with the help of external data. Results show that it is highly appropriate to build models on car model level not only on brand level. There is found negative effect of milage, lease length, generation age and diesel engine on residual value within chosen group of cars. Furthermore, there is found positive effect of engine power, engine capacity and additional equipment on residual value within some car segments. In the thesis there are also outlined possibilities of incorporating external factors to residual value predictions.
