Analysis of the Maastricht criteria, Czech republic since 1998
Křivánek, Matěj ; Dočkal, Dalibor (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Pavel (referee)
The convergent criteria and its implementation across countries is a very actual and discussed issue of the past few years with regard to the increasing number of countries striving for joining the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). It has also become a part of the policies of the particular central banks having a significant impact on its performance. The beginning of this work is intent on the theory of the Optimal Currency Area (OCA) as developed by Robert A. Mundell in the sixties, which gave rise to the Maastricht criteria, subsequently the findings will be applied to the environment of the Czech Republic. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the evolution of the monetary policy of the Czech Republic with regard to the fact that the Czech Republic also commited itself to adopting the common European currency. And what about the impact of a fact, that the Czech Republic represents a small open economy strongly reliant on the development of Euro, especially the German economy? Furthermore I will also evaluate the policy of the central bank which must be performed in order to meet the determined Maastricht criteria. One of the other aims of this thesis is to assess the benefits and risks associated with the entry to the monetary union, such as depreciation of Czech National Bank (CNB), primarily the loss of using the exchange rates representing the important means to stabilize the economy.

Lukášková, Sára ; Abrhám, Josef (advisor) ; Cihelková, Eva (referee)
The need to improve the economic governance of the EU occurred during the financial crisis when many member states experienced recession. The fact that each member state was influenced differently shows us the two main weaknesses of the EMU: economic heterogeneity of the member states and deep public debt. Existing fiscal rules were proved to be ineffective and unenforceable. The topic of this master thesis is the analysis of the impact of the economic governance reform on the position of the European Commission. The thesis deals only with one aspect of the reform- the budgetary surveillance framework. The thesis explains that this reform was necessary for improving of the EMU and it deals with the impact of this reform on the position of the European Commission. The analysis is based on the comparison of legal acts concerning the budgetary surveillance framework before and after the reform.
