Bohata, Martin ; Štěpánek, Pavel (advisor) ; Ševčíková, Michaela (referee)
The thesis addresses the points of interest related to establishing the euro currency in the Czech Republic by 2020. What are the connected costs and benefits? Is euro going to be a contribution to the Czech economy? The theoretical part describes the creation process of European monetary union. The paper then works with advantages and risks associated with euro. The main cost of membership in the eurozone being the loss of independent monetary policy and the loss of the exchange rate mechanism is estimated in range of 0.59 to 2.34 % of GDP. Comparing the direct costs and benefits then leads to a net loss for the Czech Republic. Mutual comparison is conducted between the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is shown that the difference in economic progress between these two countries is statistically insignificant. Thus the thesis concludes that establishing the euro in the Czech Republic by 2020 would be of no benefit.

Šimák, Radim ; Ševčíková, Michaela (advisor) ; Zeman, Martin (referee)
This thesis compares different immigration policies of countries in the European Union on selected sample of countries: Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Italy, Czech Republic and Australia. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the basic concepts related to migration, such as the theory and methodology of migration. The theoretical part also presents the common immigration, asylum and visa policy of the European Union and its historical development. In conclusion, the thesis argues that the European Union may, in some aspects of the migration crisis, be inspired by the Australian approach to migration. The aim was to evaluate different approaches and consequent impacts. The impact on economics indicators suggests that using the Australian model would achieve better employment and a lesser burden on public budgets. Based on these findings, the thesis then presents recommendations and proposals for solution.

Holomková, Anna ; Ševčíková, Michaela (advisor) ; Zeman, Martin (referee)
The aim of this thesis is an evaluation of immigration policy of Italy after the Arabic spring. The work focuses on the influence of an inflow of immigrants from non-European union countries from 2011 to 2015. There are basic terms of migration characterised in the theoretical part, its typology and the theories of migration. Furthermore, the historical development of migration in Italy is shown. The practical part focuses on a distribution of foreign population out of EU. The thesis examines the immigration policy, especially the asylum and the fight against illegal migrants. The position of immigrants in a labour market is solved in the other part. The thesis focuses on the integration of immigrants in education or housing. The proposed changes of immigration policy and several scenarios of future development are also listed in the last part of this thesis. The work has proved that there have been changes in immigration policy after the Arabic spring. The state is trying to adapt the immigration policy by reinforcing immigration inflows. Increasing influx of immigrants influences the foreign population that increases population and creates more varied national composition. Since 2011, the Italian government has been making legislative changes in the immigration policy. For instance, by concluding an integration agreement which makes the immigrant integration to the Italian society easier. The first benefit of the work is writing my own recommendations for immigration and integration policy which can improve the situation in the country. The second benefit is a presentation of several scenarios of future development of migration policy of Italy but also for the whole European union.

Analysis of deflationary factors in the Czech Republic in years 2008-2016. Was the CNB's decision to start intervene on foreign exchange markets well-founded?
Krampera, Tomáš ; Ševčíková, Michaela (advisor) ; Munzi, Tomáš (referee)
The decision of the Czech National Bank to initiate interventions on foreign exchange markets on 7th November 2013 based on an alleged threat of deflation induced a significant professional debate about the legitimacy of such a step as well as the phenomenon of deflation itself. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the development of Czech economy before and after the interventions using a macroeconomic and econometric analysis. That includes identifying potential deflationary factors, which are then put into context of good and bad deflation characteristics. Further analysis is to determine whether foreign exchange interventions were a justified step. This bachelor paper also mentions the characterization of different viewpoints on deflation, the evolution of opinions from a historical perspective and the description of low-inflation development abroad. The final part of this paper identified low inflation in Eurozone and the prices of oil as the main deflationary factors, both of which matching good and bad deflation characterization. I find CNBs foreign exchange interventions as an unfounded step.

Fučík, Václav ; Zeman, Martin (advisor) ; Ševčíková, Michaela (referee)
The goal of the bachelor thesis is to analyze the amount and the development of public debt between the years 1993 and 2016, which is represented by the state debt in the case of the Czech Republic and, in the case of the Slovak Republic, the debt of the public administration. Account is taken of the budgetary and fiscal policy set by individual governments based on their own ideological status. The theoretical part of the thesis defines mainly public finances, fiscal policy and the budgetary system - the substantial part of the budgetary system is the state budget. The practical part is divided into periods corresponding to political cycles. In each period the political and macroeconomic situation prevailing in individual countries is always characterized. That´s why it´s easier to understand the development of the state budget. The state budget is subsequently evaluated in sum with regard to the political and other factors influencing it. The final chapter of the practical part contains the analysis and comparison of the development of the public debt. On the basis of these facts conclusions are drawn and expressed hypotheses are verified.
