Models of Analysis and Forecasting of the insolvency of Czech companies
Kuchina, Elena ; Hušek, Roman (advisor) ; Řičař, Michal (referee)
Different scenarios of the financial situation can take place before the company's bankruptcy. There may be long-term trends in the deteriorating financial situation that indicate the impending corporate bankruptcy, or the bankruptcy may occur unexpectedly, even though the company was ranked among prosperous business units. If the economic situation of the company followed the second scenario, when insolvency was quite predictable, static model, i.e. the model which does not take into account the dynamics of changes in the financial indicators, is a good option to capture the probability of bankruptcy. However, the situation becomes different when the financial indicators fail to show a positive trend throughout some years before the insolvency. In this case, the predictive accuracy of the static model could be increased by a dynamic model by taking into account the fact that the development of the financial indicators in the past periods may affect the company's financial health for the period under consideration.

Adamec, Michal ; Jílek, Josef (advisor) ; Jazic, Viktorija (referee)
Diploma thesis analyses state aid to financial sector provided by central banks and governments in USA and EU during recent financial crisis. In the deepest stage of the crisis central banks provided great amounts of liquidity in order to keep financial institutions afloat. Then, governments provided guarantees for debts which hepled financial institutions to finance themselves at lower costs. Capital injections and asset guarantees were also provided. In aggregate, the government measures had impact on reducing risk premiums but did not support stock prices. BoE and Fed implemented quantitative easing. Its only impact was decrease of yields of government bonds. All measures failed to restore robust growth of credit to real economy. There is a strong effect of the crisis and provided mesures on the increase of government debts.

Greek debt crisis and its impact on EU
Štefková, Veronika ; Hnát, Pavel (advisor) ; Vrňáková, Irena (referee)
Greece joined EU in 1981 and became a member of the European Monetary Union in 2001. With its budget deficit and government debt, which do not comply with the Maastricht criteria for a long time, Greece belongs to the weakest members of EU. The impact of the global financial crisis, combined with structural weaknesses of the national economy, which significantly reduces its competitiveness, occurred in Greece in 2009. At this time pressure on international financial markets, the Greek government bonds, and the common European currency, was intensified. Greek bond rating has gradually dropped to the junk level and the interest rate of bonds has exceeded the acceptable limit. Concerns about possible default followed.

Theory of Sovereign Bankruptcy
Štekláč, Jiří ; Ježek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Munzi, Tomáš (referee)
The bankruptcy is examined insufficiently in spite of the fact of its significancy. The aim of this diploma thesis was to define the bankruptcy, examine the economic possibilities of its settlement, analyse causes and consequences of the bankruptcy and find prevention and treatment. The thesis distinguishes bankruptcy of private subject and sovereign bankruptcy. The paradox of the monetary system is shown as primary cause of both private and state bankruptcy. Debt fiat money is created throughout credit expansion which generates malinvestments (Austrian economic theory of monetary cycles) and causes bankruptcies. On the other hand, financial system is based on necessity of permanent harmful issuance of credit fiat money which is issued by commercial banks (not by central banks). Furthermore, diploma thesis uses the criteria of Moody's rating agency as appropriate approximation of secondary causes of sovereign bankruptcy. The next part evaluates the impacts of bankruptcy (sovereign and private) on global financial markets and monetary unions. Credit freeze, run on banks, panics and collapse of the financial system are shown as the most substancial consequences of bankruptcy. In globalized world, the state bankruptcy is not isolated event. Financial institutions in other countries can be possible holders of devaluated (government) bonds. This study evaluates the impact of the bankruptcy on the monetary union. Currency devaluation is a common instrument of facing the consequences of bankruptcy which is not applicable in case of membership in monetary union. So, the bankruptcy of one member affects entire monetary union. In the next step, the study aims to examine topic of institucional solution of sovereign bankruptcy. Thesis uses private bankruptcy law (specifically Czech Insolvency Act) to formulate the possibilities of state bankruptcy settlement. Bankruptcy (In Czech: Konkurz), Reorganization (In Czech: Reorganizace), Debt clearance (In Czech: Oddlužení), Restructuring (In Czech: Restrukturalizace) and Fusion-acquisition (In Czech: Akvizice a fúze) are analyzed as options of sovereign bankruptcy solution. The instances of some threaten European countries are analyzed in the last part of thesis.
