Lobbying: Microeconomic Evidence
 Rott, Robert ; Gregor, Martin (advisor) ; Chytilová, Julie (referee)
The present thesis is an empirical analysis of lobbying in the United States. First, it analyses an added value of lobbyists' specialisation and connections to congressmen using a method of matching. Second, it extends the analysis by studying the impact of competition for access to congressmen on the added value of lobbyists. Third, it analyses lobbying from the point of view of congressmen by studying the impact of their specialisation on committee assignments on the amount of campaign financing they obtain from lobbyists. The analysis is done using data about lobbying reports as well as committee assignments of congressmen and campaign contributions they obtain from lobbyists in the 106th to 110th congress, corresponding to years 1999-2008. The present thesis also provides a brief summary of related literature analysing different aspects of lobbying.

Growth Enhancing Policies under Fiscal Austerity
 Rott, Robert ; Mertlík, Pavel (advisor) ; Lupusor, Adrian (referee)
Currently, there have been two opposing views on how governments should support economic growth - either by fiscal stimulus or by fiscal consolidation. The most heated discussion has been over the question of whether a decrease in government expenditure can be expansionary and support economic growth. The objectives of this thesis are to provide a broader discussion of the economic theory behind the optimal design of fiscal policy, to analyse some opposing views on fiscal consolidation, and to present an overview of the policies that were implemented by selected Eurozone countries in response to the current situation. From the literature review we conclude that there is no significantly dominant view on the preferable approach to fiscal policy, which we confirm via the comparison of countries' expenditures.
