Regulation of commercial banking by the central bank The aim of my thesis is to clarify the issue of banking regulation of commercial banks in the Czech Republic and to analyze their functioning. Due to the extent of the topic of this thesis I focused mainly on prudential rules for banks, which are one of the main instruments of banking regulation. The introduction defines the Czech banking sector. There are described both of its general characteristics, as well as the particular entities that are present, including the Czech National Bank and its competence in the area of banking regulation and supervision. The second chapter deals with the banking regulation itself. As an introduction it is generally analyzed in theoretical level especially with regard to the reasons for its existence. Further there is also described the current legislation in the Czech Republic in detail, including its link with the rules of international and European law. Then there are presented all its essential parts and its influence to banks is analyzed. The third chapter deals with prudential rules in detail.

Four Essays on Financial Stability
Jakubík, Petr ; Dědek, Oldřich (advisor) ; Mejstřík, Michal (referee) ; Kodera, Jan (referee) ; Peltonen, Tuomas (referee)
Recent episodes of financial instability have motivated researchers as well as policy makers to intensify research on financial stability. This thesis contributes to current research and policy discussion by elaborating and empirically testing methodologies, which can be used to measure financial sector vulnerabilities and identify potential risks for financial stability. It further focuses on the link between real and the financial sector as well as possible implications of household financial distress on the aggregate economy. Together with the proposed framework we provide the survey of the current literature on these topics as well as the empirical results. We argue in favour of stress testing methodologies covering the key risks on banks' balance sheets. These frameworks can also be used for emerging markets where data availability is typically limited. It is shown that due to high volatility of credit growth in emerging economies, the static approach assuming constant balance sheet items is not very appropriate. Furthermore, the feedback effect between the financial sector and the real economy might play an important role under certain assumptions, and therefore it should be taken into account by policy makers. This effect can also emerge in the real sector itself as potential instability can...

Legal regulation of the activities of banks
Jedlička, Jan ; Kotáb, Petr (advisor) ; Kohajda, Michael (referee)
The subject matter of this thesis is a treatise on legal regulation of bank activities. I have chosen this topic for its recency in a connection with global financial crisis and also in a connection with application of new European legislation in the field of bank regulation. Activities of banks belong among one of the most regulated market areas because eventual failures of banks are very dangerous not only for a functioning of the bank system but also for a huge amount of other subjects dependent on proper financial factoring. An importance of bank regulation is also given by a large amount of depositors who have their money deposited with the bank and who can lose their funds in the case of a failure of the bank unless the institutes of the financial safety net will provide compensation. Regulatory rules impact on banks already in the phase of their origin. There are strict conditions for an obtaining of the bank license from a reason of a prevention of an entry of unhealthy business subjects to bank market to avoid problems prior to their creation. An exit from bank market is also regulated in the form of a different legal regulation of insolvency and liquidation of the bank. The thesis is divided into eleven chapters which are divided into several subsequent subchapters. The thesis starts with...

Procyclicality in Basel II and Basel III
Šobotníková, Petra ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Jakubík, Petr (referee)
The term procyclicality refers to the ability of a system to amplify business cycles. The recent financial crisis has revealed that the current regulatory framework, Basel II, affects the business cycle in exactly that manner. The newly published Basel III therefore sought to include tools that would mitigate the procyclical nature of regulatory framework. The aim of the thesis is to analyze whether such tools are effective and whether the procyclicality under Basel III has been mitigated when compared to Basel II. In order to conduct such analysis we employ a simple model with the households and firms sector. Using the OLS estimation method we estimate the sensitivity of Basel risk weights to the business cycle under both Basel II and Basel III conditions. As the Basel III framework has been published only recently, there are few studies that would analyze its effect on procyclicality. The main contribution of this thesis consists of implementation of Basel III countercyclical tools and the comparison between both frameworks. The thesis further contributes to the existing literature by conducting the analysis on the data for the Visegrád Group, that is for the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland.

Banking Regulation: Assessment and Simulation of Regulatory Measures
Klinger, Tomáš ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Jakubík, Petr (referee)
This thesis focuses on international banking regulation, particularly the capital adequacy requirements known as the Basel Accords. In the first part, we study the rationale for regulating the banks and describe the evolution of the Basel Accords, including the newly presented measures known as Basel III. The main conclusion of this part is that the regulation is heavily shaped by the banks themselves and does not always serve the best for protecting the financial system. In the second part dedicated to systemic risk modelling, we first introduce the used methodology and then build an agent-based model which enables us to simulate the impacts of various types of negative shocks given various settings of the banking system and the regulatory environment, including the capital and liquidity measures. Our simulations show firstly that sufficient capital buffers are crucial for systemic stability, secondly that the discretionary measures have little effect once a crisis breaks out and thirdly that liquidity measures are a relevant regulatory tool.

The effectiveness of monetary policy of the European Central Bank in addressing the debt crisis in the euro area on a specific example of Ireland
Besarab, Olena ; Pavlík, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Bolotov, Ilya (referee)
This thesis focuses on assessing the effectiveness of monetary policy, which was adopted by the European Central Bank in cooperation with the Irish Central Bank in order to overcome the debt crisis in Ireland. It provides a brief overview of the causes of the crisis in the country and focuses on the measures of monetary policy that was taken in addressing the debt crisis. The paper examines the initial targets of anti-crisis policy and their actual implementation. Increased attention has been paid to banking regulation, since insufficient regulation was the primary cause of the crisis that led Ireland into a situation of extreme budget deficit and the subsequent need for a bail-out. The paper points out that in 2014, the Irish economy has seen some growth and reduced the budget deficit as well as government debt, which confirms the effectiveness of certain implemented measures.
