The Macroeconomic Impacts of the Selected Oil Shocks in the United States of America
Šikulová, Markéta ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Tajovský, Ladislav (referee)
The aim of this study is to analyze macroeconomic impacts of four selected oil shocks on the United States economy and their subsequent comparison. The first part of this study deals with the theoretical background of supply shock, its influence on the economy, and the possible responses of economic policy. Furthermore, in the first part I focus on the historical events that led to the oil crisis, specifically on the OPEC oil embargo imposed on the United States, production cuts caused by the Iranian revolution, Iran-Iraq War and Persian Gulf War and on the demand as well as the supply factors that led to the oil shock of 2007-2008. The second part of this study presents the specific impacts of four selected oil shocks on the US economy and their comparison. Based on the findings, it was possible to confirm the hypothesis saying that past oil shocks, especially those that took place in the 1970's, had more negative impacts on the United States economy in comparison with those that happened more recently. In other words, that the effects of changes in oil prices have lessened over time. There are many reasons of this moderation, but the most important ones include more effective monetary policy response, the decrease in wage rigidities, and more recently also the decline of United States dependency on imported oil.
Fed's Easy Money Policy during Alan Greenspan's presidency in Board of Governors (1987-2006)
Mašek, František ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Tajovský, Ladislav (referee)
The main theme of the work is the Fed's monetary policy during the time, when chairman of the Board of Governors was Alan Greenspan. The greatest attention is aimed at the influence of Fed's expansive monetary policy on the so-called dot-com bubble and later mortgage crisis, which subsequently developer into the financial crisis. Through a thorough analysis of many scientific papers written by known economists and my own analysis and evalution I opine that the effect of expansionary monetary policy on the bubble in technological assets and mortgage crisis is rather minor. Fed subordinated all actions to achieve its monetary policy objectives, so criticism of its conducted monetary policy is essentially a critique of these objectives as such. I consider the emergence of new technologies and the so-called theory of feedback as the main cause of dot-com bubble. In the mortgage crisis and subsequent financial crisis as main determinants I consider reluctance of goverment officials strongly regulate activities of investment banks and other investment companies, moral hazard, failure of rating agencies, and federal support for home ownership coupled with the deregulation of the financial sector.

Easy Money Policy of the Federal Reserve System in the 1990s
Pospíšil, Petr ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Tajovský, Ladislav (referee)
This thesis focuses on monetary policy of the Federal Reserve System in United States in the 1990s. The emphasis during the analysis is put on recession of 1990-1991 and occasions which lead to market speculation, followed by US economy stagnation after its burst. I deeply analyzed the issue and contradictory opinions of renowned economists I conclude that American central bank's decisions during 1995-2000 contributed to the increase of stock market speculation. Nevertheless, these decisions were made in consistency with then crises of domestic and global economy with the aim of ensuring price stability and economic growth. Hence, my conclusion is that monetary policy of American central bank did not exactly cause the crisis, it was mainly investor's exuberance due to wave of new technologies emerging in the 1990s.

Košut, Jaroslav ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Tajovský, Ladislav (referee)
The 1970s are well known mostly thanks to the events of the first and second oil shock, which changed the economic landscape in the US and in the world for years to come. The theoretical section of this thesis is devoted to the situation before and during the oil shocks: their origins and circumstances, political developments as they progressed and their effects on the oil market. The analytical section examines economic policies of United States presidents Gerald Ford and James Carter and points out successes or failures of their various measures. It describes the course of events concerning economic growth, inflation and unemployment over the course of the 1970s and addresses the causes of their developments in each year. The work is concluded with a comparison of the selected economic aggregates and claims that economic policy of President Carter dealt with the impact of the oil shock more successfully than economic policy of President Ford.
Dot-com bubble - a factor in economic success of the USA in the 1990s?
Zajíc, Jiří ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Tajovský, Ladislav (referee)
This thesis deals with the impacts of information and communication technology investment surge on USA economic growth in the 1990s. Besides others, rapid development of these technologies also led to the creation of a stock market bubble, which affected the expansion phase of the economic cycle. Its burst in 2000-2001 resulted in economic slow-down and end of the longest recorded economic expansion in the history of the United States. Main part of the thesis discusses the benefits of information technology for economy and further evaluates the role of the speculative bubble in the development of consumption and investment expenditures. The thesis results suggest that the increase in capital intensity and sharp stock market price inflation significantly accelerated the dynamics of the economic growth in the second half of the described cycle.
