The causes of the current financial crisis and their impact on the regulatory framework
Mach, Milan ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Zapletal, Petr (referee)
The main topic of this thesis is the 2007 global financial crisis, its causes and impact on the regulation of financial sector both in Europe and the United States. Based on the described causes, its aim is to evaluate the aptness of proposed or already enacted regulatory changes in the financial sector. The first part of this paper deals with the chain of events and trends leading to the outbreak of the mortgage crisis in the US and its subsequent spillover into the rest of the financial sector. The second part focuses on naming the main causes of this development and analyzing them. The final part of this thesis follows the reactions of national and supranational regulatory bodies in Europe and the US, assigns the individual measures to the causes they are supposed to solve, and compares the approaches in the frame of the Euro-Atlantic space.

Monetary disequilibrium in the theory of endogenous money
Korda, Jan ; Koderová, Jitka (advisor) ; Mach, Miloš (referee) ; Mertlík, Pavel (referee)
The thesis deals with monetary disequilibrium in the theory of endogenous money. In the new consensus economics, money is endogenous and passive. Money market is not considered and if yes, then only in an implicit equilibrium, whereas mechanisms ensuring this equilibrium are not discussed. In post-Keynesian economics, there is an explicit discussion, whether monetary disequilibrium may occur. Horizontalists argued for equality of money supply and money demand. On the other hand, arguments of some structuralists based on an independent demand for money function show that monetary disequilibrium may occur. The thesis therefore analyses mechanisms ensuring equilibrium in the money market. The only mechanism among them which enables the passivity of money is the reflux mechanism. However, it can not be regarded as universal since not all economic subjects which create demand for money are in debt to the banking system. For that reason accommodation of some factors of money demand function is necessary and money is endogenous and active. Econometric tests studying independent money demand and the consequent possibility of monetary disequilibrium based on Granger causality tests seem to be methodologically problematic and showing mixed results. Monetary disequilibrium can not be ruled out. Contemporary monetary policy based mainly on new consensus approach thus omits one channel of monetary policy transmission. Theoretical analysis suggests that monetary equilibrium has to be (at least partly) restored through changes in factors of money demand, which can lead to changes of other macroeconomic variables including inflation.

A practical look at use of social networks for small and medium business
Mach, Michal ; Pavlíček, Antonín (advisor) ; Matuštík, Ondřej (referee)
Internet and Internet communication technologies have become an integral part of life for most of us. Commercial potential of these technologies has already been identified. The advent of new forms of communication and sharing content on the Internet, so-called Web 2.0, brought new trend to our lives. This new trend with great potential for further commercialization of the Internet, are social networks. This thesis deals mainly with issues of use of social networks for commercial communication. Social networks offers a wide range of opportunities for business development on the Internet in the future. Volume of use of social networks in the future depends not only on users of social networks, but also on skills and experience of corporate entities. The goal of the thesis is to provide a comprehensive view on this issue, analyze the current uses of each commercial channel on social networks and provide insight to possible future progress. The work is divided into three chapters. The first, theoretical part, defines online communication channels, social networks and analyse basic problems of commercial use of social networks. In the second part author provides an overview of the possibilities of use of social networks and their potential, their advantages and disadvantages. And also methods how to enter a field of social networking with a business. The third part is a case study of use of social networks for business development in a particular company. In this charter author applies knowledge from the theoretical part. Reader of the thesis should thus gain a complete understanding of the issues of commercial uses of social networks. In theoretical, and also in practical direction. The thesis could thus be a applicable guide for the use of all the opportunities that social networks provide these days. The benefit for the reader should be the ability to apply theoretical and practical procedures for developing their own business.

Elektromagnetické a teplotní pole v roztaveném hliníku míchaném v kelímkové indukční peci
Barglik, J. ; Doležel, Ivo ; Ulrych, B. ; Mach, M. ; Trutwin, D.
The paper deals with the mathematical and computer modeling of quasi-coupled electromagnetic, temperature and hydrostatic fields in molten aluminium in a typical crucible induction furnace. After the process of melting, the melt is further inductively heated to reach the casting temperature that is typically higher by about 200 C than the melting point. Then the active power of inductors is reduced to a level making possible only to keep the temperature at that value. During that time, however, more or less intensive stirring of the melt takes place because of presence of the Lorentz forces acting in melt.

Payments for goods and services via mobile phones
Mach, Michal ; Matuštík, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kubíček, Jovan (referee)
This thesis is focused on the issue of payment for goods or services by mobile phones. The area of mobile payments is a potential future payment system. To the extent to which the mobile payments in the future be used, however, depends not only on individual applications and technologies but also the readiness of potential users of these technologies and the willingness of users is fully used. The goal of this publication is to provide a comprehensive picture of this issue, analyze the possibility of using different technologies for mobile phone payments, to map the current situation in the segment of mobile payments and provide insight into the possible future development. The work can be divided into three parts. First, the theoretical part, defines mobile payments, says the reader into the introduction of mobile payments and describes the possibility of using these technologies. Second, the practical part, the analysis of the questionnaire. This questionnaire is primarily focused on the use of applications, mobile payments among users of mobile phones in the Czech Republic. When evaluating a questionnaire is given priority to conclude that could be used in the introduction of mobile payments. The third part is an example of mobile payments applications in other fields. Readers of this thesis would have to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the issue of mobile payments, technology and applications of mobile payments. Alternatively, to obtain information about how to use these payments in their business.

Deflace a měnová politika (se zaměřením na deflaci na přelomu 20. a 21. století, zejména na Japonsko)
Kufa, Robert ; Koderová, Jitka (advisor) ; Revenda, Zbyněk (referee) ; Mach, Miloš (referee)
Tato práce pojednává o deflaci a přístupu k deflaci z pozice ekonomie hlavního proudu a rakouské ekonomické školy. Dále se zabývá hlavními deflačními obdobími v době fungování zlatého standardu a následně v období po jeho skončení. Hlavní zaměření je na deflaci v jednotlivých zemích v období na přelomu 20. a 21. stol., přičemž zvláštní pozornost je věnována deflaci v Japonsku. Práce analyzuje faktory deflace v Japonsku a možnost zapříčinění deflace měnovou politikou. Sestrojený index měnových podmínek neodhalil měnovou politiku jako faktor vzniku deflace, hlavní důvody jsou spatřovány ve strukturálních problémech Japonska. V poslední řadě práce odlišuje pojmy deflace a změna relativních cen a zabývá se otázkou adekvátní měnové politiky.
