Jiránek, Roman ; Mandel, Martin (advisor) ; Brůna, Karel (referee)
The thesis deals with the problems of the state budget and the current account budget balance on the example of the USA. The general problems of the state budget and the current account, Keynesian and monetarist approaches to external economic balance, twin deficit theory in Keynesian conventional and Ricardian classical approach are used as the theoretical foundation. In the practical part the thesis characterizes the USA economy development from the Second World War to nowadays. It stresses especially the American economic policy in each period, the economic growth, the rate of inflation and unemployment. The (im)balances of state budget and current account and its mutual development are discussed on this base. In the end the twin deficit theory and empirical analysis are confronted and some problems are discussed (e.g. the causality in both balances relations, time lag, external and internal factors concerning both balances etc.).

Impact of productivity on current account behavior
Pivoňka, Tomáš ; Pošta, Vít (advisor) ; Pikhart, Zdeněk (referee)
This thesis is considered with impact of productivity on current account of Czech Republic. It is based on model presented by Glicka, R., and K. Rogoffa "Global versus Country-Specific Productivity Shocks and the Current Account". In this model productivity is distinguished on country specific and global productivity in countries of G-7. Other authors followed this model by extension or revision. In my thesis I was working with several series of productivity based on different data from some sectors of economy. To capture productivity is used Solow residuum of Cobb-Doublas production function. Country specific productivity shock worsen current account as initial model says. Analysis of time series revealed the most suitable series for description of current account behaviour as series of total industry with investment based on gross fixed capital formation.

Optimization of advantages on business current account
Hach, David ; Švecová, Lenka (advisor) ; Theodor, Michal (referee)
The basic aim of this thesis was to evaluate the profitability of current accounts offered by the five largest Czech banks. In this context it was proposing to create such an evaluation device, which is sufficiently versatile and reusable. After a thorough examination of the general principles of decision-making theory and the basic characteristics and instruments of current accounts has been developed appropriate analytical base for follow-up of the work. In the analytical part proved very useful hierarchy of objectives and criteria, as well as the use of exact methods for determining weights of criteria and selecting the appropriate option. For determining the weights of the criteria were used point scale method, preferential ranking method, the method of paired comparisons, Saaty's method and compensation method. For the selection of variants were used multicriteria utility functions, Saaty's method and compensation method.

Global Imbalance of Savings and Investments and US Current Account Dynamics
Ševec, Vladimír ; Hurník, Jaromír (advisor) ; Chytilová, Helena (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to find a reason why the US current account is in deficit, which is in contradiction of theoretical expectation. Prevailing discusion is about savings glut and defects in monetary policy. In our opinion both sides ignore China`s rising influence and real exchange rate. Balassa-Samuelson`s effect predict real exchange rate appreciation in converging economies, as long as their real GDP grows. Analysis of real exchange rate of Renminbi shows contradiction with Balassa-Samuelson effect, which is attributed to conditions on Chinese labour market. Chinese internal imbalance has impacts on global economy and nonappreciating real exchange rate of Renminbi deforming international trade is one of the factors that causes US current account deficit.
