Industrialization of the Soviet Union in the 30s of the 20th century
Šafránek, Patrik ; Fabianková, Klára (advisor) ; Chalupecký, Petr (referee)
The thesis concerns industrialization of the Soviet Union in the 30s of the 20th century and tries to assess its economic and social results. An emphasis is placed mainly on the first five-year plan which lasted in years 1929 -- 1932. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the centrally planned economy and the theory of totalitarianism. I have come to the conclusion that the directive economy is not suitable as a long-term form of organization of production of society. The main hypothesis is that extensive investment to heavy industry caused quantitative growth of macroeconomic indicators which was accompanied by reduction in the standard of living of most of inhabitant of the Soviet Union. This hypothesis managed to partially prove true despite the fact that the average consumption per capita increased during the reporting period. Among the basic factors of reduction in the standard of living belonged the restriction of personal freedoms associated with the creation of a totalitarian regime, introduction of the system of internal passports and forced collectivization of Soviet agriculture.

What caused transformation decline in performance of Czech economy?
Dvořák, Tomáš ; Šťastný, Daniel (advisor) ; Potužák, Pavel (referee)
At first I introduce some features and problems of Czechoslovak centrally planned economy. Then I introduce and explore some internal and external factors that influenced performance of Czech economy in period 1990 -- 1992 negatively, partially negatively and partially positively and also some of those factors whose influence doesn't have to be obvious at first sight. Most of the factors I explored can be divided into two groups. The group representing factors with clearly negative influence on performance of Czech economy includes negative content of informal institutions, mutual absence of necessary institutions, regulations, way of thinking and acting, knowledge and experiences, further high public sector's share of GDP formation, adopted privatization strategy of public enterprises, loss of traditional markets and difficult transition to new markets. The group representing factors with partial negative and partial (and prevailing) positive influence includes price deregulation, restrictive income policy, adopted privatization strategy of banks, restrictive fiscal and monetary policy, adopted strategy of Czech economy integration into the world economy. Moreover I explored Czech bankruptcy law, the possibility of acceptance of a foreign democratic country's formal institutions and size of real decline in Czech GDP. I came to conclusion that Czech bankruptcy law couldn't significantly influence performance of Czech economy, further that unacceptance of a foreign democratic country's formal institutions didn't harm performance of Czech economy and in regard to the decline I came to conclusion the real decline wasn't as deep as it was shown by statistics.
