The first essay investigates the factors that hinder the growth of SMEs using a World Bank dataset, and access to finance is found to be their biggest constrain to growth. Asymmetric information between small business owners and banks generates high interest rates, complex application procedures and high collateral requirements, which are found to be the biggest obstacles business owners face when they seek external financing.

Comparison of economic crises 1998 and 2014 in the Russian Federation
Noskov, Nikolay ; Brada, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Metrah, Samy (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the comparison of two crisis events in 1998 and 2014 in Russia. The thesis is designed in such a way that the comparison is carried out considering the evolution of the economy with defining the main problems of the economic model, which were then included in the assumptions of these crises. The work is particularly important in terms of understanding the essence of economic problems in different time periods and their subsequent comparison. It answers the question if Russia has made some progress during its existence and if the government's approach to economic planning and development priorities has changed. The aim of the thesis is to carry out a complex analysis of each case considering the evolution of the economy and their subsequent comparison based on the knowledge gained during the elaboration of the work. The first chapters contain a theoretical view on the crisis issue. Next parts include the analysis of the state economy in pre-crisis periods and detailed research of each crisis. The thesis works extensively with the data for the period 1992-2015 by means of graphic, correlation and regression analysis. In the final parts of my work I present the comparison with the classification of the characteristics of the two events to the same and different ones and provide my own recommendations regarding the future development. The result of the thesis is the conclusion that Russia is still experiencing structural problems in the economy and with the passing of time it has only changed their character. In both cases, the overall economic model, which has been formed for several years in a row, seemed to be the main prerequisite for a breach of stability.
