Kompatibilita zlepšování ukazatelů wellbeingu
Dlabaja, Zdeněk
In this master's thesis, one of the most modern concepts for monitoring wellbeing in an economic context is introduced – the Better Life Index by the OECD. This composite index, comprising 11 topics, addresses both material aspects of quality of life and other non-material areas. The aim of this thesis was to determine whether such areas of quality of life examined by the OECD are mutually compatible. This issue is explored in the analytical part based on correlation within time series of indicators and among static indicators of the Better Life Index. The results of the analysis are subsequently discussed and contextualized with other sources and the opinions of other authors. In conclusion, the main findings, and implications of this work for the recipients of the Better Life Index are presented.

The impact of unemployment on economic development in the Visegrad group (V4) countries
Phan, Sreypech
This study has attempted to scrutinize the impact of unemployment on economic development in the Visegrad (V4) countries comprising the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia, using time series data obtained from the World Development Indicators over a 29-year period from 1993 to 2021. This study has employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique for empirical investigation. GDP growth rate is a dependent variable employed as a proxy for economic development. In the present study, the explanatory variables are unemployment, inflation, and the labor force. The empirical findings indicate that the long-term relationship between economic growth and various independent variables differs significantly across four countries. In the Czech Republic, inflation and unemployment negatively affect economic growth in the long run. In Hungary, unemployment has a strong negative impact on economic growth, while the effect of inflation and the labor force on GDP is uncertain. In Poland, the labor force has a positive impact on GDP, while unemployment has a negative impact. In Slovakia, only the labor force has a negative impact on GDP in the long run. In the short run, the study found that unemployment had a significant negative impact on GDP in all four countries, while labor force and inflation had significant positive and negative effects, respectively, only in the Czech Republic and Poland. Additionally, the lagged values of unemployment had significant effects on current GDP in the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia. The findings suggest that unemployment is an important determinant of economic growth in the short term in all four countries, while the impact of labor force and inflation on GDP is less clear, as they only have significant effects in some countries. The study provides insights into the determinants of economic growth in four Central European countries and highlights the importance of the unemployment rate as a short-term determinant of economic growth in all four countries. The study's findings suggest that policymakers in these countries should prioritize policies aimed at reducing unemployment to promote economic growth. Additionally, the study's findings can be valuable to researchers and policymakers seeking to understand the economic dynamics of Central European countries and design effective policies to promote economic growth.

The impact of foreign direct investments on economic growth: the case of Ghana
Tetteh, Mavis
This thesis seeks to investigates the effects of FDI on the Ghana’s gross domestic product advancement. The study applied the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model using data from the World Bank from 1990 to 2021. The Johansen cointegration test indicated a prolong persistent association between the variables. The Collinearity test using the BKW indicates no existence of perfect combination of the explanatory variables. However, the empirical findings displayed that in the long run FDI had no significant effect on the GDP expansion in Ghana whereas there was a positive short-term influence. The study entreats the government and GIPC to continue to strengthen the measures that help to attract FDIs to Ghana and focus on creating a enabling environment for these investments to strive and yield positive economic growth impact in the long run as well.

Vliv přímých zahraničních investic (FDI) na strukturu a zahraniční obchod ghanské ekonomiky
Yeboah, Evans
This thesis explores the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on Ghana's economy and foreign trade using a multivariate time series approach. The study analyzes data from 1984-2020, employing techniques such as the Johansen coin-tegration test, Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), and Granger causality test. The results suggest that FDI has a positive relationship with the agriculture and service sectors, but a negative effect on manufacturing. In contrast, imports have a positive relationship with agriculture and service sectors, but a negative effect on manufacturing. Export has a negative effect on agriculture and service sectors, but a positive impact on manufacturing. The Johansen test shows a positive relationship between FDI and exports and a negative relationship between FDI and imports. The study also suggests that FDI and exports positively impact economic growth, while imports harm it. The VECM analysis shows a long-run interdependency among agriculture, manufacturing, services, FDI, exports, and imports. The Granger causality test reveals a unidirectional short-term relationship between agriculture and service sectors and explanatory variables (FDI, exports, and imports), but no short-term causality between manufacturing and FDI, exports, and imports. The study recommends that Ghana's government should focus on FDI and exports to boost economic growth.

The influence of crude oil price fluctuations on macroeconomic stability in Nigeria
Onome, Nelson
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of crude oil price fluctuations on macroeconomic stability in Nigeria. The paramount importance of oil in the economic landscape of Nigeria cannot be overstated. Although numerous researchers have conducted studies on the correlation between oil prices and various macroeconomic variables, their outcomes have proven to be debatable and limited to specific countries. The current study's literature review and methodology serve to elucidate these perspectives. Secondary time series data was employed in an Autoregressive distributed Lag Model analysis. Our study revealed that variations in oil prices exert a considerable impact on Nigeria's actual Gross Domestic Product (GDP), unemployment rates, and rates of inflation. Adverse perturbations in the global petroleum market bear noteworthy ramifications on price undulations. The Nigerian economy is characterized by a marked increase in imports, which has unavoidably led to the amplification of inflationary pressures. A noteworthy reduction has been observed in government revenues and expenditures. It is advised that to attain sustainable development in Nigeria, a diversification of the economy and energy sources be pursued. The findings of this study also indicate that unstable oil prices have diverse degrees of detrimental impact on exchange rate fluctuation, inflation, unemployment, and real GDP. Based on the empirical evidence obtained from the conducted study, it is our scholarly recommendation that the nation ought to diversify its income streams. This would serve to mitigate the impact of perturbations in oil prices on the vulnerability of economic conditions. The reduction in undulating oil prices has highlighted the need for Nigeria's economy to explore alternative sources of revenue to minimize the over-reliance on crude oil exports. Avenues of focus for serious policy implementation include the reformation of the agricultural sector, industrial policy strategies, as well as critical investments in mining and mineral development. Such diversification endeavors can potentially drive the nation's economic growth trajectory in the long term. The implementation of this approach is anticipated to facilitate the attainment of sustainable growth and development in Nigeria.
