The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the contributions of the sections (NACE-CZ) to the creation of gross value added. The first part of this thesis described the theoretical concepts relating to national economic gross value added. Analytical processes were used for the calculations, which may be used only if we are dealing with an additive link between individual factors. The sections' contributions to the creation of national eco-nomic gross value added were evaluated in the practical part, on the basis of the proc-esses set forth in the methodology. In the given time horizon, contributions by institu-tional sectors and groups of sections classified according to the level of technology showed a certain dependency on the actual economic cycle. Although the strongest in-stitutional sector is non-financial enterprises, they were the ones most affected during the crisis period, together with government institutions. On the contrary, the financial institution sector showed a strong position during the crisis period. In terms of the grouping of the sections according to the level of technology, the greatest contribution to national economic gross value added is by groups B1 and B2. The influence of the economic cycle was noted in all the groups but, according to the results, group C did not react quite as sensitively as the other groups.

The aim of this thesis is to identify fiscal behaviour of municipalities in the Czech Republic within economic cycle. The starting point of this thesis is that municipalities do not have the responsibility for macroeconomic stability, unlike the central level of government, and their preference is sustainability of its own budget. Absence of a motivation for implementing the countercyclical policy leads to a consideration that the behaviour of municipalities is rather procyclical. For the analysis there were used datas of 325 municipalities during the time from 2001 to 2014. The research was designed to test the dependence of the budgetary indicator on the output gap. As a method of exploration there was used the panel regression analysis with random effects estimate for help with robust standard errors in the version of White cross-section method. The results confirmed a statistically significant effect of the output gap on the budgetary indicators, tax revenues, tax on personal income from self-employment and capital expenditures. With the growth of the output gap also tax revenues and revenues from taxes on a personal income from self-employment are growing. With the growth of the output gap capital expenditures are declining. These budgetary indicators are developed countercyclical. A statistically significant effect of the output gap on the other budgetary indicators failed to prove. The main hypothesis of this thesis is not rejected. Budgetary behaviour municipalities in the Czech Republic is influenced by the economic cycle. Fiscal behaviour of municipalities in the Czech Republic within economic cycle is countercyclical.

Bachelor thesis deals with social-pathological phenomenon of suicide. Due to the broad range of the topic, the scope of this work is reduced to the view of high schools and universities students. The main objective of this work is to determine whether young people hold the opinion that a free man who has the right to life should also have the right to die discretionary. Also whether they have ever thought about suicide as a solution of negative economic factors. Finally, compare the difference in opinions on the issue of students from high schools and universities in different years of study and not studying respondents. The theoretical part, which deals mainly with economic factors and the cost of suicide and the practical part where I carry out own research, where I try using the questionnaire to find out the importance of economic factors for respondents. The research says that the economic factors are very important even for students and that there is possibility they would thing about suicide due to these factors.

This thesis aims to analyze the development of the Czech mechanical engineering during the trade cycle from 1970 to the present day. The introductory part establishes the theoretical framework in terms of the definition and history of mechanical engineering along with required macroeconomic identities, trade cycles theories and the transformation process. The second part analyzes and assesses the development of the Czech mechanical engineering in the periods before and after November 1989. First of all, an economic--political and technical framework is established. On the basis of the selected macro-economic and statistical indicators examines and illustrates the influence of recession on the given field. The final section focuses on the current condition of the Czech mechanical engineering. This part also examines the nature of the impact present geopolitical conflicts have on the Czech mechanical engineering. Finally, the thesis summarizes the outcomes and draws the conclusion that the Czech mechanical engineering is influenced by the trade cycle to a greater extent than the rest of the Czech economy. However, the influence varies within the two observed periods. The thesis thus offers a new and detailed view on a branch which has not been given sufficient space in other similar papers.

There are many regional development theories already dealing with development of regional differences and their trends. In the European context is regional development linked with terms like convergence/divergence and related to the basic principles of the European Union Cohesion Policy, which goal is a higher level of integration and compensation of regional differences among member states' regions. Currently is this topic closely associated with last years' significant phenomenon - the economical crisis. The aim of this thesis is to compare the regional development among the European Union member states during the recent economical crisis by analysing regional differentiation on levels NUTS 2 and NUTS. The regional differentiation was calculated using two variability indices (Theil index and the coefficient of variation) and based on the unemployment rate and Gross Domestic Product per capita. Arising from the main hypothesis the bimodality of old versus new member states was partially confirmed, which was more evident using the unemployment rate. Finally the cluster analysis was used to create groups of states on the basis of similarity in the development of differentiation during the crisis. The results didn't show significant dependence according to the proposed hypotheses. The real impact of the...

In accordance with its main goal, the main thesis shows which published data and indicators contemporary financial markets use to assess the state of major economies and forecast their short-term future development. Using Bloomberg as the primary source, the thesis provides a detailed analysis of the indicators and surveys sought by finance professionals when assessing the performance of the economy in the United States, the euro-zone (with emphasis on Germany) and, in the context of the impact on the global economy and markets, in China and Japan. A preliminary hypothesis about the similarity or closeness between the theoretical view and the practical approach of financial markets has been refuted. Instead, after close scrutiny and detailed analysis, we have established that financial markets put great emphasis on forward-looking indicators and monetary policy. This emphasis was confirmed by a survey of local investors. Using expert opinion and analysis, the thesis charts an overview of select economic indicators and their over- (payrolls, consumer sentiment) or undervaluation (regional Fed activity indexes, CFNAI).

The target of this bachelor's thesis is comparison of current measurement of inflation, a measurement by consumer price index, with alternative attitudes of measuring of inflation including an identification of their vallue added. Nowadays the maintenance of a stable inflation rate is one of the dominant targets of all central banks in developed countries. The central banks use various instruments of monetary policy to ensure this target. One of the regime of monetary policy that central banks use the most is inflation targeting, more precisely targeting of consumer price index. Unfortunately, this price index carries an amount of disadvantages. At first, I mention predominant discussion about technical imperfections that are caused by the method of it's calculation. Then I focus on monetary - political imperfections of the consumer price index that are caused by the fact that this index ilustrates development of only relatively stable consumer prices, so it's reactions on changes of monetary policy are very weak. After that I carry out an comparative analysis of representative alternative attitudes of measurement of inflation, including a comparison of developement of inflation rate according to these attitudes in USA in last few years.

The goal of this thesis is to analyze the current status of the Czech real estate market and to assess the outlook of the Czech real estate market to year 2016. The analysis will be performed using a strategic outlook as well as a competition benchmark. The prognosis of the future development of the Czech real estate market will be assessed by developing a comprehensive model capturing the development of revenues on the real estate market. From the public policy's point of view, this is a very up-to-date topic to analyze, as the real estate market is an important barometer of economic outlook in any country. The troubles that were brought by the US mortgage crisis have undoubtedly affected the situation on the real estate market in the Czech republic. The theoretical part of this work will characterize used definitions, such as public policy, economic cycle, economic crisis, real estate market, real estate market bubble, mortgage crisis etc. In the analytical part of this work I shall develop a model that captures the development of the Czech real estate market with focus on parameters of realized transactions in the given year and the development of prices. To evaluate the current situation of the market I shall conduct a strategic analysis and the estimated future development will be captured by conducting a regression analysis using historic data to estimate the development to year 2016.

The thesis aims to defend the irreplaceable role of the Austrian business cycle theory in explaining the current financial crisis in the U.S.. Attention is also paid to applied measures of American economic policies and their impact on the elimination of the purification process of the recession. Furthermore, the work deals with the identification of preventive measures, which would reduce the likelihood of the occurrence of economic cycles. Recommendations by representatives of the Austrian School are described as difficult to implement on the basis of number of arguments. In the work are therefore proposed more realistic measures to limit the volatility of the economic cycle, which emanate mainly from the composite price index, which is the subject of this text. The index reflects the price development in all stages of production and should therefore in monetary policy matters replace the current use of price indicators, based on the inflated scale of consumption, taking into account only minimal effects of monetary expansion. The work deals with the calculation of the composite price index for the United States, which used the instrument of Skounsen indicator of gross domestic output. The development of the composite price index in the US is then analyzed and compared with the development of other macroeconomic variables. Based on this examination, we recommend the use of composite price index for monetary policy regime of inflation targeting and the implementation thereof by the Federal Reserve monetary policy.

The diploma thesis deals with the connection between the economy cycle and the development on the mortgage credit market since 2000 until 2010. Mainly it focuses on the problematic of the effectiveness of the currency policy and on the analysis of the main determinants, which leads to the mortgage crisis. The aim of the thesis is to assess the determinants of the credit cycle and their connection with the development of the economy cycle. The main indicator that influence the credit cycle will be analyzed. On the basis of the gained information I will answer the question whether there should exist some strategy of the state in the field of accommodation and whether the currency policy should be controlled according to same rules or rather discretionally. As for the methodology, the descriptive method, the comparative analysis, the trend line and the technique of the deviations from the trend will be applied.

The thesis focuses on fertility development of the Czech and the Slovak Republic during the business cycle expressed in terms of the unemployment rate. The linear regression analysis conducted with the specific panel data of the Czech and the Slovak Republic for the period from 1993 to 2010 proved insignificance of tested relationship. The growth of male unemployment rate by 1 % is associated with 0,005% increase in fertility. Increase in female unemployment rate by 1 % results in an increase in fertility by 0,017%. As can be seen from these results, the fertility of the Czech and the Slovak Republic is counter-cyclical to the economic cycle, which means that the substitution effect decrease in opportunity cost of women during a recession prevails over effects of reduced income. With an increase in both, male and female unemployment increases willingness of individuals to conceive children. Significant variables within this analysis include the marriage rate and intensity of housing, which generally raise the fertility of the Czech and the Slovak Republic in which more children being born in economic crises.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the impact of unemployment and other variables on sick leave in the Czech Republik. For this purpose I used panel data from all regions of the CR between 2001-2009. Using several models, I determined that the economic situation the state has greater influence on absenteeism than the health of the population. It was demonstrate that the inability to work in the CR is procyclical character. If unemployment rises by 1 % the number of cases of sick leave decreases by 1,13 per 100 sickness insured workers. Among other variables representing the economic situation have the highest influence legislative changes leading to a tightening of the payment of sickness benefits and wage compensation and the average gross wage. The compensation is higher and the difference in income is lower, the greater the motivation of patients to stay at home. In the research I was limited to the length of time series and the number of available data, therefore the findings may not be robust.

The aim of diploma thesis is the analysis of economic cycle in the car sector in the Czech Republic and the government's approach on this issue. I desribe the global economic and financial crisis in the years 2007 - 2010, which had impact on automotive industry, For comparison, I add approach by government abroad and development of automotive industry, mainly in Germany and the Slovak Republic. The first part consists of theoretical approaches of important economists of the economic cycle, the company in recession and the different approaches to structural policy. Individual approaches are different and unfortunately there is no uniform approach to effective solution of the crisis. The analytical part deals with the beginning of economic and financial crisis along with the impact on the production and sale of three automotive producers in the Czech Republic - Škoda auto a.s., TPCA, Hyundai Motor Czech s.r.o. This impact is compared with the consequences of the crisis at car manufacturers in Germany and the Slovak Republic. Finally comes the assessment of mainly interventionist approaches by governments in the Czech Republic and abroad. Through the efforts to alleviate the ongoing recession in the sector was being set up so-called scrap subsidy that had an impact on the industry in the Czech Republic, even though in our country was his introduction denied.

The main goal of my bachelor thesis is to analyze and compare steps against crisis, which were proposed in the Czech Republic to alleviate the effects of the Financial Crisis there. I focus mainly on the National anti-crisis plan and its possible alternatives. The whole analysis is based on available empirical dates. In a theoretical part I deal with current financial and economic crisis from the point of view of economic theory. I focus mainly on the theory of Financial Crisis and the theory of the Business Cycle. In the second part I deal with indicators of current Financial Crisis and I describe the current state of world economy as a result of financial and economic crisis. Then I analyze rescue packages and I focus on some individual steps to mitigate negative impacts of the Financial Crisis in the Czech Republic. Then I describe some potential impacts of those steps to the Czech economy. At last, but not at least I focus on steps, which are the most effective ones from my point of view and I describe their positive effects on the Czech economy.

The goal of my work is to compare the Great Depression in the USA to the current depression. I would like to compare the causes, development and government actions to fight both these depressions. My work concentrates at the tools which were used to ''save the economy'' in the USA after the economic breakdown in 1929 and also at the results of using these tools. According to the analysis of individual steps of the New Deal I will try to estimate the effectivity of proposed similar measures supposed to fight the current financial crisis in the USA as well as in the European Union and in the Czech Republic.

The aim of this work is to analyse the actual state of the U.S. economy (from the viewpoint of some basic economic indicators). Then I tried to predict a future trend of indicators in the next couple of years. By using statistical data, found at the websites of international organizations ( OECD,IMF etc.), I attempted to estimate the actual position of the U.S economy in the context of phase of economic cycle. Working with coincident, leading and lagging indicators, I was searching for the changes and fluctuations in economic situation. All the indicators I compared with actual real gross domestic product. With the respect for rational economic interpretation, I predicted the tendencies in the economy of the U.S in future time period. For modelling the future situation I used an econometric program GiveWin. Finally I tried to estimate the lenght of the period, in which the indicators will return to their long-term equilibrium.
