Integrace kapitálových trhů ve střední a východní Evropě
Krutišová, Alena ; Klosová, Anna (advisor) ; Jegers, Marc (referee)
There are several advantages of capital markets integration, such as increasing overall market liquidity, improving the scope for diversification and risk sharing. Therefore, the European institutions try to boost capital markets integration among the member states. The aim of this empirical paper is to analyse the level of integration of the main equity markets in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE): the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria from 2001 until 2010 using an integration score analysis. This methodology was proposed by Akdogan (1996; 1997) and later extended by Barari (2004) and by Birg & Lucey (2006). The paper focuses on the developments of regional and global integration of these countries. Findings from this research can be of interest to investors as well as policy makers because the degree of capital markets integration has important implications for cross-border capital flows, financial management, and for the conduct of monetary policy. The results from this paper suggest that the opportunities for portfolio diversification are diminishing in the CEE countries. The diversification benefits were mainly reduced by the accession to the EU, but they did not completely disappear. The findings showed that the global financial crisis in 2008 brought about a rapid change in integration. Global integration increased during the crises, whereas the regional started to decline after years of rising.

Eastern Enlargement of the EU and its Impacts on the European Union and Selected Member States
Hokešová, Kateřina ; Hnát, Pavel (advisor) ; Jelínek, Tomáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the process of the so called eastern enlargement of the European Union which took place in two waves in years 2004 and 2007. It evaluates the starting-points which led to the enlargement from the both-sides point of view. Since the fall of communism, the central and eastern European countries wanted to return back to Europe and become a part of a democratic complex. On the other hand, the EU saw the enlargement mainly as an opportunity to unite the whole continent and gain back its decreasing economic potential. In the second part, the thesis focuses on the results of the enlargement for both sides. The enlargement has affected not only the economic but also the political situation in all the member countries and has also dramatically changed the decision-making process within the EU.
