The analysis of particular models of credit risk
Sedlárová, Michala ; Málek, Jiří (advisor) ; Polák, Michal (referee)
The main aim of my final thesis is to familiar reader with different ways of measuring credit risk by means of particular structural models of credit risk. This issue has been already described by foreign authors. Though, neither Czech nor Slovak economists have been deeply involved in this topic so far. For this reason, I have decided to focus on those models and both describe them as well as put them into the practice. My final thesis gradually focus on individual detailed model description in each chapter in following sequence: Credit Metrics, Black-School model, Merton model, KMV, Credit Grades. Moreover, it also targets model's construction as well as practical application. Regarding practical model's application, Black-School model is applied on IBM and KMV on Kraft Foods Company. Admittedly, that proves the fact that structural models are not only theoretical models, but also practical models applyable on real companies. Finally, I will compare all above mentioned models in selected parameters.

Derivative Pricing Using Monte Carlo Simulations
Burešová, Jana ; Witzany, Jiří (advisor) ; Málek, Jiří (referee)
Pricing of more complex derivatives is very often based on Monte Carlo simulations. Estimates given by these simulations are derived from thousands of scenarions for the underlying asset price developement. These estimates can be more precise in case of higher number of scenarions or in case of modifications of a simulation mentioned in this master thesis. First part of the thesis includes theoretic description of variance reduction techniques, second part consists of implementation of all techniques in pricing a barrier option and of their comparison. We conclude the thesis by two statements. The former one says that usage of each technique is subject to simulation specifics, the latter one recommends to use MC simulations even in the case a closed-form formula was derived.
