Causes of the Mortgage Meltdown and Reasons of the US Financial Crisis in 2007 - 2008
Bukva, Bondy ; Dočkal, Dalibor (advisor) ; Urban, Luděk (referee)
The major goal of this work is to conduct a careful analysis of the 2007 -- 2008 mortgage crises, with focus on both the United States financial and mortgage markets. The actual 2007 -- 2008 collapse wasn't only a typical market crash. It was also a "collapse" of ideals and new methods that came to life particularly during the times of the Great Moderation. In this work I further examine three particular issues. These are: economic and political decisions, the psychology of continuous and sustainable growth and the creation of so called toxic assets. Also in tandem to and related with a monetary policy and moral hazard analysis, I try to fully comprehend the actual market bust of the late 2000s. The purpose of my analysis is then finding out if there was a single cause of the market crash of 2007 -- 2008 or if there actually were multiple factors leading to the slump.

The analysis of "Too Big to Fail" policy in the environment of financial institutions
Kolařík, David ; Lipka, David (advisor) ; Pichaničová, Ludmila (referee)
The aim of bachelor thesis was to answer the question whether politicians make their decisions about the "Too Big to Fail" policy on advice of economists or for other reasons. The bachelor thesis clarified many opinions and recommendations of economists, which were expressed in empirical and theoretical studies. Economists clearly thought that the government should not pursue the "Too Big to Fail" policy and thus not provide the assistance to financial institutions at risk of bankruptcy. Considering the fact that politicians provide the financial assistance to large financial institutions in most cases, the hypothesis that politicians act in case of "Too Big to Fail" according to recommendations of economists was rejected. Furthermore the bachelor thesis mentioned reasons that may influence decisions of politicians and alternative solution of financial institutions insolvency.
