Vaněčková, Markéta ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Loužek, Marek (referee)
The objective of this thesis is to evaluate, whether microfinance are a suitable instrument for development aid. It maps the factors that caused the microfinance crisis in 2008 to 2010 and validates the proposed reform measures. It describes and compares the effeciency and results of microfinance substitutes in the field of development aid, which are governmental, non-governmental and commercial programmes with similar objectives declared. It also analyses data from 2008 to 2014 from the point of view of social indicator reporting and acceptance of the new concept among microfinance institutions. Conclusion is reached based on these three components: ability to reform microfinance, possibilities of other programmes and situation in social reporting. Microfinance isn´t a suitable instrument for poverty reduction as such, but serves as a complement to provide for development of poor regions and financial inclusion of poor inhabitants.

This thesis reveals the gradual development of trust decline and calculates the impact on amount of bets into two big lotteries, which are run by companies SAZKA (CZ) and TIPOS (SK). Both companies got into financial problems during 2011. The analysis was conducted on data gathered from lists of winners since 2008 (2009) to February 2012 using difference in differences method for particular games. Austrian lotteries were used as a control group. Results for game Sportka (Sazka) shows slight decline since the problems were published by media. For Euromiliony (Sazka) the decline is small up to announcement about inability to pay out prizes. After this both games showed large slump in bets: 70 % for Sportka and 54 % for Euromiliony. The drop has been decreasing up to the end of the monitored period. Loto (Tipos) decreased by 1 % and Euromilióny (Tipos) increased by 27 %. All results are significant at 1 % level. Difference in results is probably due to different character of problematic period for each company and due to state ownership of Tipos.
