Empirical Evidence from Central and Eastern European Countries
Geršl, Adam ; Seidler, Jakub
Excessive credit growth is often considered to be an indicator of future problems in the financial sector. This paper examines the issue of how to determine whether the observed level of private sector credit is excessive in the context of the “countercyclical capital buffer”, a macroprudential tool proposed in the new regulatory framework of Basel III by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. An empirical analysis of selected Central and Eastern European countries, including the Czech Republic, provides alternative estimates of excessive private credit and shows that the HP filter calculation proposed by the Basel Committee is not necessarily a suitable indicator of excessive credit growth for converging countries.

Law breaking by foreigners in Czech republic - the migration flow of large extent.
ŠKOLKA, Michael
In 2004, the ČR joined the European Union and in 2007 joined the Schengen area. These two historic moments were the reason for creation of legislative changes, which mainly relates to the protection of external borders of the state, public order in the ČR and the introduction of various laws and directives governing the movement of goods, among other things and stay of foreigners in the ČR. Part of the strategy to ensure public order in the Republic is among other type plan "large-scale migration wave." It is important to note that the accession to the Schengen area was to abolish national border crossings and it is now possible the free movementofpersons, includingforeigners. ČR has become a country that has the inner land borders and outer boundaries is only at international airports. Although this fact has brought for the citizens of ČRfor example great ease when traveling, but there is a large open space for international crimes, which are undoubtedly related to illegal migration and smuggling, human trafficking, narcotics and weapons. Based on the above fact, the conclusion is sufficiently justified that type plan ?wave of large-scale migration? currently has its real foundation and there is a risk that the migration wave of foreigners can come to the ČR. This assumption is supported by research of migratory flows to Europe and to the ČR, it is also influenced by the unstable political situation in African and Asian countries. This plan type governs the procedures and schedule the activities of government ministries, regional authorities and municipalities. Many tasks are performed by the Ministry of Interior, particularly the Department of Asylum and Migration Policy, and police components, particularly the Alien Police Service is currently the Foreign Police Departments included in the structure of the Regional Directorate of Police. There has been a major reorganization from 1. 1. 2011, whose components fulfill the tasks of this type plan. Until now hasn´t been established police departments that would assume the tasks after the Alien Police Service, and therefore will be created the draft update of this plan on my part.

Assessment of legal updates on civil protection/defense in relation to trends in the area of civil protection/defense and comprehensive security of the population
ONDRÁK, Petr
The objective of this study is to evaluate the trends in individual periods of selected legal and sub-legal regulations on civil protection/defense in the Czech Republic from 1935 to the present. In addition to presenting an overview and description of individual legal provisions, the study also outlines the characteristics of the period in which the legal provisions were created, approved, and subsequently enacted. Three European countries were selected and briefly described for the purposes of the overview and comparison ? specifically, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria. In all of them, much emphasis has been put on the population?s protection, so that these democratic states have considerable and valuable experience in protecting their citizens in their respective geographic and historical setup. Using a multicriteria analysis, a comparison of legal provisions on civil protection/defense in the territory of the Czech Republic was made from 1935 to the present. Since it was not feasible to compare all the legal and sub-legal regulations in the given area, the study concentrated on the main legislation during that period. The period under study, i.e., 1935 to the present, was divided into segments where significant amendments were adopted in the area of civil defense in the territory of the Czech Republic. Subsequently, these main provisions on civil defense were detailed so as to make the primary objectives of the individual provisions obvious. The chapter containing compilation of the results describes selected key legislation in the periods from 1935 to 1961, then from 1961 to 2000, and finally from 2000 to the present, including a comprehensive table with a brief description of selected regulations. In conclusion, it was necessary to state that endangerment of the population, both with respect to civil and military threats, still exists. Therefore, it is essential to continue to amend and supplement the current legal provisions on a current basis, even though the legislation is very good, quality-wise, to be able to respond flexibly and effectively in the event that the population of the Czech Republic is exposed to any of the potential threats.

A comparison of day care funding in an administrative district of municipality with extended competence of České Budějovice.
ZÍBAROVÁ, Zuzana
The thesis compares funding of domiciliary services in the administration district of České Budějovice, the municipality with the extended scope of performance. In the theoretical part I focus on the history of the development of domiciliary social services provided on site and I define the social service at first. Then, I identify the different specifics of social services and their characteristics. Attention is also devoted to funding of social services in the Czech Republic and European countries. I also show the differences in management in the non-profit sector. The most important section of the thesis analyzes domiciliary service and gives its definition. Further, the thesis contains practical part, which compares the collected data on the domiciliary services. It specifies services provided within the domiciliary services, funds granted for the service, number of clients, basic information on providers and their pricelists. The data were collected as of the last quarter of 2011. The target of the thesis was to compare the income and expenditures of the domiciliary services provided in the administration district of České Budějovice, the municipality with the extended scope of performance. For the applied methodology I selected qualitative research and the secondary analysis of data as the applied method. The conducted research analysed four types of services provided in the administration district. The original hypothesis of the thesis that the assessed providers have identical average cost per 1 user proved to be invalid.
