The effect of political decisions on GDP: Can poverty be solved politically?
Králová, Barbora ; Volenec, Otakar (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
This thesis examines whether democracy leads to economic development. GDP graphs are used as indicators of economic development, Polity IV's graphs as indicators of the political situation in the respective country. Three Subsaharan countries are examined: Nigeria as a country that prospers thanks to its mineral supplies, Ghana as one of the developed countries in Subsaharan Africa and Zimbabwe as an autocratic country ruled by a dictator. Links between democracy and economic development have been proved fully in Ghana, partially in Zimbabwe and the Nigerian economy is dependant on the world oil prices more than on its democratic development.
