The following thesis describes the importance of the central bank in the states economy and its position in the structure of the banking and financial system. It deals with its monetary policy and functions such as the role of the state bank, issuance activity or the regulation and supervision of commercial banks. The theoretical part is concluded by describing the Maastricht convergence criteria, which is built on in a questionnaire survey of the practical part.
The practical part is divided into two sections. The first is focused on the exchange rate as a monetary tool of the Czech National Bank. It attempts to compare how successfully CNB has achieved its predictions from 2014 (the year when the foreign exchange interventions were initiated). The second section contains an interpretation of the results from the survey, with the aim of identifying the attitudes of Czech citizens towards adopting the euro currency. Subsequently, testing of a statistical hypothesis for contingency between selected issues was performed and connections within the columnar frequency of the contingency tables were observed and picked out.

The Impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on Economic Growth – The Case of Selected Arab Countries
Hodrab, Rami Mohammad Awad ; Maitah, Mansoor (advisor) ; Soukup, Alexandr (referee)
Information and communication technology (ICT), population growth, gross capital formation, Openness, labour and inflation are frequently well-thought-out as important drivers of economic growth for all countries, so as for Arab countries in our case. This study aims to examine the effect of these factors on 18 selected Arab countries economic growth, covering the period from 1995 to 2013, with the main interest of the impact of ICT. The results show positive and significant impact of ICT index (infodensity that represents the capital and labour stock of ICT) for each individual country (except for Djibouti with negative ICT index elasticity and UAE with insignificant impact) ranged from 0.10 for Lebanon to 0.469 point for Qatar. The panel regression results show that ICT positively and significantly affect the whole sample of 18 Arab countries economic growth with 0.108 point, as well as GCF ratio with 0.129 impact, in addition to openness which encounters positive and significant impact with 0.054 point, and inflation with negative significant impact. These results are accommodated with many related studies. Population growth is insignificant to economic growth. The 18 Arab countries are divided into three sub groups according to their infodensity levels. The research results show that there is a relatively large gap between first and second groups of high and intermediate infodensity values in one side and the third group (with low infodensity and GDP per capita values) on the other side.
In order to verify further the results of positive and significant impact of ICT on economic growth, a second study model that depends on Cobb-Douglas production function is applied with ICT and non-ICT capital services and labour services. This second model is applied on five Arab countries that covers the period from 1993 to 2014 using ARDL method. The regressed results show a long run equilibrium cointegrated relationship between ICT and non-ICT capital services, in addition to labour services and GDP growth. The results tell a positive and significant elasticity of ICT capital services at short and long run, and this value is more than the ICT capital services compensation share, which indicates ICT spillover in these Arab countries. Labour services impact on GDP growth is positive and significant on long run, but for non-ICT capital services, there is a negative and significant impact. So finally it is worth for the Arab countries to invest more and efficiently in ICT assets, in addition these countries have to efficiently use the available ICT resources.

Asymmetric Information in the Process of Investing to Funds of Qualified Investors
Veselá, Kamila ; Soukup, Alexandr (advisor) ; Severová, Lucie (referee)
The submitted paper focuses on information asymmetry in the area of investments in qualified investors' funds. The paper focuses on qualified investors' funds in the form of open-end mutual funds that allow the subscription of allotment certificates, i.e. they offer investment opportunities. The nature of qualified investors' funds allows, compared to standard funds, the execution of more venturous investment strategies, which, however, includes much higher risk connected to the information asymmetry. The paper is based on the assumption of information asymmetry between Investment Company and potential investors. The quality of the provided information is therefore critical; however, the investor cannot be expected to have the same knowledge of the fund as does the manager of the fund. The assumption of information asymmetry is based on the differences of interests of Investment Company and potential investor. Investor's interest is to maximize his own profit (net present value), but the interest of Investment Company is to maximize his profit (fee for managing the fund). The manager, maximizing the profit (his fee for managing the fund), may try to contort information towards the investor to "lure" him into an investment and thus achieve his goal. The objective of this dissertation paper is therefore the identification of risks connected to investing in QIF (qualified investors' funds) as result of the existence of IA (information asymmetry) on the side of the investor, qualitative analysis and proposal of measures leading to the elimination of IA. It's meant (in this paper) that information asymmetry is misrepresentation of information and also the incompleteness of information. The results are the basis for two outputs of this paper: investments recommendation for potential investors and information duties recommendation focused for Investment Companies. The aim of these outputs is to eliminate the influence of IA in the process of decision -- making of potential investors.
