The comparison of pension systems in the Visegrád Group focused on the Czech Republic
Hlavová, Kristýna ; Ježek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Damborský, Milan (referee)
Visegrád countries were forced to adopt a widespread pension reform due to demographic facts. This reform led to the creation of the 2nd pillar. This thesis deals with this new funded pillar, which should facilitate the financing of the PAYG system (1st pillar). Using comparative analysis I reveal why all of Visegrád countries reduce 2nd pillar after several years of its functioning. The most common reason for this reducing was an effort to improve the unsatisfactory situation of public finances. The abolition of 2nd pillar actually leads to a certain improvement of public debt and deficit, but this positive effect is only short-term. More specifically I focus on the arguments of the Government for the abolition of the funded pillar in the Czech Republic, which I consider largely baseless. I also discuss the possible impacts of the reducing of the 2nd pillar. Currently, the countries of V4 try to save their pension systems using the 3rd pillars, however the current form of this supplementary pillar cannot provide a sufficient financing of the PAYG system.
NORTH VS. SOUTH OF THE EURO AREA IN TERMS OF OCA
Hlavová, Kristýna ; Dočkal, Dalibor (advisor) ; Urban, Luděk (referee)
This study divides the eurozone countries into two groups, the first group is "North states" and the second "South states". These two parts are mutually compared and evaluated in terms of the optimum currency area (OCA) theory. The beginning of this work introduces the basic concepts and the history of the OCA theory and the euro area. The theoretical part focuses on the definition and explanation the OCA criteria. The eurozone will be evaluated in terms of fulfillment or non-fulfillment of these criteria. The main aim of this work will be to decide which of these two parts of the euro area to a greater extent fulfills OCA criteria and which of them has a greater potential to become an optimum currency area in the future. The analysis will be based on the available statistical data.
