Research is based on relationship between daily cloud cover and development of the indexes form 1995 to 2012. It also focuses on comparison of several different models, especially models of seemingly unrelated regressions.

The analysis of development of the Austrian capital market and its monetary consequences (in the period before 1918)
Čajka, Martin ; Brada, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Jančík, Drahomír (referee) ; Pavlát, Vladislav (referee)
The dissertation thesis is considered with the development of capital markets in Austria before 1918. The Austrian capital market originated during the 18th century as the place for distribution of government securities. In 1771 the Vienna Stock Exchange was established as the first organized place for securities trading in the former Austrian Monarchy. The government securities remained the major investment instrument traded till 1918. In primary decades the Austrian capital market was nearly connected with the development of Austrian currency especially in times before the Austrian state bankruptcy in 1811 and then in times of the following effort of the Austrian government aiming the correction of Austrian currency. This aiming culminated in establishing of the Privileged Austrian National Bank as the first central bank in the former Austrian Monarchy. From about 1830 private securities were traded in the Vienna Stock Exchange as well. In primary decades these private securities were especially represented by equities and bonds of railway companies. The peak of private emissions related to the Austrian capital markets could be documented round 1870 in the framework of the so called founder times. These founder times were ended in Mai 1873 by the crisis on the Vienna Stock Exchange. After 1873 the Austrian capital market went back to the situation from the early 19th century, i.e. it can be seen the dominant role of government securities connected with the decrease of importance of the Austrian capital market as the place for company finance funding. After 1880 there is the origin of the very strong connection between the industrial companies on the one side and the banking sector on the other side which was typical not only for the former Austrian -- Hungarian Monarchy but also for German Empire and for other Middle European countries. The decrease of importance of the private securities was also caused by the nationalization of the Austrian railway companies after 1879. During the World War I the Vienna Stock Exchange as well as other stock exchange in the Monarchy was out of business. During this time the Austrian public debt was multiplied and the Austrian currency under strong inflation. After 1918 the Vienna Stock Exchange lost much from its former importance to the prejudice of the Prague Stock Exchange above all.

Žilák, Pavel ; Dvořák, Petr (advisor) ; Veselá, Jitka (referee) ; Bakule, Václav (referee)
Last three decades stock exchanges have been developing and growing rapidly. The first objective of this thesis is to provide a wider public a comprehensive overview on integration and consolidation of transatlantic stock exchanges and their consequences in the form of various types of stock mergers, acquisitions and cooperations. The thesis is primarily devoted to analysis of the impact of both trends and their implications for stock exchanges world and the second objective is to attempt a empirical analysis of the effects of ongoing integration and consolidation of the transatlantic stock markets. The first chapter deals with past and current changes in the transatlantic stock markets and continues to look theoretically at detailed integration and consolidation trends, their definition, assumptions, reasons, importance, benefits, obstacles and risks, approaches and scenarios. I clarified both trends not only in general theoretical level, but also took into account the practical aspects and differences of the continental and Anglo-Saxon stock market trends and contemporary trends in both transatlantic stock market. In the second chapter is devoted attention to manifestations of both current trends in transatlantic markets in the form of models and forms of cooperation stock exchange. After a theoretical introduction to the cooperation and competition, stock markets, I mentioned the origins and history of cooperation stock markets, with particular emphasis on real models and forms of stock markets in Europe and the USA. In the next sub-chapter I try to analyze the realized and unrealized exchange and cooperation projects of the multilateral trading system on the market in the last decade. Finally, the second chapter deals with past, present and future architecture of the integrated and consolidated transatlantic stock market. The third chapter is the key part of all thesis where I tried to come up with a comprehensive empirical analysis of the effects of stock exchange mergers and alliances, and to investigate the effects of two major transatlantic stock markets, NYSE Euronext and Nasdaq OMX through selected market indicators, financial ratios and data from financial statements, as well as exchanges' architectures, analysis of cross-border trading costs and further explore the significance of the interdependence of markets before and after their cooperation which was tested on movement of particular daily returns of indices and traded volumes. The testing is based on the law of one price, which can be interpreted in a way that in an efficient market all identical goods must have only one price. The tested interdependence is examined by using statistical tools: correlation and time series analysis.

I will focus on the period after Second World War until 1965, the period of essential economic growth. I will mainly explore the reasons of these positive stimuls, relationship with China, principles of banking system, stock exchange and position of Hong Kong as a financial centre in international scope. All will be clarified by real economic indicators as tables and graphs, which I will analyse and deduce rules of successful economic development, which should be in general inspirative for developing economies.
