Řičař, Michal ; Hušek, Roman (advisor) ; Kislingerová, Eva (referee)
Monetary and fiscally policy together form the main pillar of state policy, which allows responsible institutions to stimulate or damp the development of national economy. Crucial role of these operations should be research of impacts on the sectors of industry, the business entities, respectively. We can expect that stimulation, e.g. in the form of increased government spending or lower interest rate of the central bank, will have different responses across a range of branches. If mathematical model of alternative historical development of the economy is composed with simulations for selected industries, we can analyze how each branch is affected. If significant differences in response of macroeconomic stimulations are found, it is necessary to proceed to an analytical examination of the causal factors that could stand in the background probably. It appears appropriate to apply financial analysis and on its basis it is possible to evaluate the structure of assets, financing, attainment of profits and other factors, whose characteristics is a strong explanatory power of the composition and function of the analyzed branch in the economy as a whole.

The Property Rights Security Is Important: How Exactly?
Flanderová, Tereza ; Schwarz, Jiří (advisor) ; Jánský, Ivo (referee)
This thesis focuses on the impact of institutional quality in a particular country on various firm characteristics on a sample of developing economies from the Central and Eastern Europe and Asia. In the first part we review the existing literature on the topic and formulate our two countervailing theoretical hypotheses, both of which use the transaction costs approach and predict different strategic behavior of the firms. In the empirical part we employ seven firm characteristics as response variables to determine the prevailing institutional influence on them, using microeconomic data from the World Bank's Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS) and corresponding institutional indices from the Worldwide Governance Indicators dataset. We find that in poor institutional environments, firms often engage in strategic behavior that allows them to minimize transaction costs imposed upon them so that they merge more activities together and become generally bigger.
