Labour migration from Latvia since 2004
Joska, Jan ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Ilinitchi, Cristina (referee)
Latvia is a traditional emigration country. There were some events during the last decade that significantly influenced emigration flows from Latvia. In 2004 Latvia joined the European Union and in 2008 there was a burst of the global financial crisis. In this paper I examine how important the issue of emigration is for Latvia. Using correlation analysis I determine the factors that influence emigration. It appeared that there is a very strong dependence between the growth of GDP and emigration and also between the rate of unemployment and emigration. The dependence of the latter increased after the economic recession. In the period of economic growth the emigration was influenced mainly by the growth of GDP, but during the crisis Latvians tend to make their decisions based on the rate of unemployment. During my research I also found out that the Latvian official data on emigration are highly underestimated. It means that the problem of emigration in Latvia is much bigger than it seems.

Filip, Michal ; Munzi, Tomáš (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Pavel (referee)
The focus of my work is to analyze the economic trend and development of the so-called "Baltic Tigers", from the beginning of the 21st century up to the present time. Here belongs the states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. I'd like to concentrate on their mutual economic boom in detail, due to which they became an example for other successful transit economics, and also I'd like to depict the main cause of their GDP slump in the last period, which is related to the inception of the financial crisis. I'll be describing the situation in Latvia in particular, their unfavorable economic condition and future outlook. My paper holds forth on certain issues, such as reasons of the overheated economy, emigration, GDP negative accrual, short-term debts participation, increasing unemployment and social disturbance. In the closing part I'll try to outline possible economic forecast and solution of the actual matters.
