Government bonds and stock market volatility: A Multivariate GARCH Analysis
Aliakseyeu, Aliaksei ; Horváth, Roman (advisor) ; Čech, František (referee)
The correlation between stock market returns and changes in bond market yields are of big interest among investors because this indicator helps them allocate their assets and diversify investment risk more effectively. An in- vestor should keep track of development of the economies of individual coun- tries, understand the causes of dissimilarities in the correlations among them and take these differences into account for successful international financial investment. The current author contributes to the existing researches by the modeling of stock-bond market co-movements using the updated datasets with focus on Central European countries and differences in public debt levels. The paper contains the empirical analysis of stock and bond market returns condi- tional correlations, modeled by the use of the Asymmetric Generalized Dynamic Conditional Correlation (AG-DCC) Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Het- eroskedasticity (GARCH) specification, for nine Western and Central European countries (the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary) that differ both by their geographic locations and economic development. The main distinctions in the correlations are ob- served during the European sovereign debt crisis. The three types of develop- ment are...

Skácelík, David ; Marková, Hana (advisor) ; Kohajda, Michael (referee) ; Švarc, Zbyněk (referee)
1 Abstract This work deals with the performance of supervision over the financial market and the entities operating in the financial market. Part of the work is devoted to consumer protection in the financial market and compensation systems. Because of the fact that the Czech Republic became a member of the European Union in 2004, this work includes also legislation of regulation and supervision of this level, as this treatment significantly predetermines Czech adjustment. Following questions were examined as an example of protecting the interests of clients of supervised entities: - whether there are any tools to protect the client's interests at the level of supervised entities, - what kind of role the supervisory authority has or may have in relation between a supervised entity and its client, - how are the client's financial interests protected in the event of failure of the supervised entity and whether this protection is de lege lata sufficient. The theoretical part of the work briefly describes the institute of supervision, its assorting and forms. The authority of supervisor is discussed in the next part together with the regulations under which the supervision is conducted.

Czech and European legislation of the securities brokers guarantee fund
Hoštičková, Ivana ; Štenglová, Ivanka (advisor) ; Čech, Petr (referee)
75 Abstract: The investor compensation scheme is one of the indispensable elements contributing to the stability of capital markets. Protection of retail investors by providing the minimal guarantee in case of investment firm's inability to return securities or money to investors became an essencial instrument in order to restart the economy, particularly in times of economic recession. Given the transboundary nature of investments a single European legislation is not only appropriate, but also practically necessary measure to restore investors' confidence in investment firms and to increase the competitiveness of markets in financial services within the European continent. The investor compensation scheme is still not receiving full attention of Czech legal theory, therefore it is one of the ambitions of this thesis to provide its comprehensive analysis. The aim of my thesis is also to compare whether the Czech legislation of Securities Brokers Guarantee Fund complies with the requirements of European legislation and to analyse proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 97/9/ES on investor-compensation schemes and its effect on Securities Brokers Guarantee Fund. This thesis is composed of five chapters. Chapter One deals with the genesis of the investor...

Transaction with securities and their legal regulation
Reiterman, Dávid ; Kotáb, Petr (advisor) ; Dřevínek, Karel (referee)
Resume: The aim of my thesis is to define the area of investment banking and point out its specifics in terms of Czech life and institutions in carrying out securities transactions by way of analyzing relevant legislation, its doctrinal interpretation, supplemented by some practical conclusions drawn from relevant case law and opinions of regulatory bodies. The thesis is divided into three separate parts. The first part tries to grasp theoretical concepts used in the title of this work. The definition and nature of security is essential for its later usage in terms of operations which are performed with such securities by investment banks. Types of such operations are defined by various investment services which determine the extent of investment banks' scope of business. In addition to those investment services, the Czech regulatory environment also addresses the status of investment banks whose different models (in terms of their functioning) can lead to terminological questions of why some investment banks are not a bank in a legal sense. The above provides a basis for the second part of my thesis, which is concerned with an analysis of respective securities operations that are usually carried out by investment banks operating in the Czech Republic. These operations are linked together and are often...

Modern types of derivates and their reflection in positive law
Laga, Vojtěch ; Kotáb, Petr (advisor) ; Kohajda, Michael (referee)
Abstract/ Modern Types of Derivatives and its Reflection in the Positive Law The purpose of my thesis is to provide an introduction to modern types of derivatives and analyze its regulation in the positive law of the Czech Republic. The reason for my research is an absence of literature on modern types of derivatives in the Czech language, as well as the fact that the legal nature of derivatives remains still unclear. The thesis is composed of four chapters. Chapter One provides an introduction into derivatives in general. It deals with the notion of derivatives and classifies them as an innovative instrument of the capital market. It also tries to analyze various definitions of derivatives, and although it concludes that there is no ideal, all-encompassing definition of derivatives, existing definitions usually give fairly good idea about what the derivatives are. Chapter One further deals with the regulation of derivatives in the Czech law (importantly, its tries to rebut an opinion that derivatives fall under the regulation of hazardous activities), it focuses on economic function of derivatives (namely hedging and speculation), it explains and justifies the division of derivatives into "classic" and "modern" or "exotic" derivatives, and finally it describes the main types of classic derivatives and its...
