Bachelor´s thesis is focused on the development of the Czech Republic and Slovakia after joining the European Union in comparison with the other economies of the Visegrad Four. It examines primarily indicator of GDP. The thesis also deals with the process of real convergence to the EU-28 and with factors that have an influence on it, such as labour productivity, employment and unemployment but the influence of population aging or population education is also mentioned.

The convergence process of the Czech Republic to European monetary union
Kutinová, Hana ; Mandel, Martin (advisor) ; Skoupil, Lubomír (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the convergence process of the Czech Republic. The thesis describes the historical background of the Treaty on European Union and the criteria for adopting the euro are described in detail. The convergence process of the Czech Republic is viewed from the perspective of a nominal convergence (inflation rates, government finance, exchange rates, long-term interest rates) as well as a real convergence (measured by GDP per capita in purchasing power parity). Further, the attention is paid to the institutional framework of fiscal policy of the Czech Republic. Indicators of economic harmonization are also analyzed, such as the business cycle, interest rates, exchange rates and stock indices. The comparative method is used to evaluate -- development indicators are compared over time and with countries in a similar position with the Czech Republic.

Rössl, Karel ; Skopeček, Jan (advisor) ; Chytilová, Helena (referee)
Real and nominal convergence is an actual topic in majority of "new" member states of European union, especially, before entering EMU. This paper is dealing with convergence of the Czech Republic to the EU-15 countries and compares the level of convergence of our economy with some specific "new" members of EU. Work is devided into three main sections. First section is adressed to the definition of economic convergence as it is defined in standard economic literature. Second section deals with process of real convergence and its index on example of the Czech Republic including comparision with the selected countries of EU. Third section is devoted to the nominal convergence. The case of nominal convergence is also compared with the selected countries of EU and evaluation of fulfilment of maastricht convergence criterias by Czech Republic is carried out. Aim of this work is to provide complex view on the convergence of the Czech Republic to the "old" European union countries.

Adopting the Euro in the Czech Republic
Ira, Jiří ; Janáček, Kamil (advisor) ; Ševčíková, Michaela (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to analyze, if the Czech Republic is ready to adopt the Euro and to evaluate benefits and risks of this step. The analysis is comlemented by evaluation of Maastricht criteria, and there is a short view of their fulfilling in the future. The problem of real convergence is discussed in the following chapter. I paid attention to business cycle synchronization in selected countries, to the situation on the Czech labour market and the fiscal policy. Both of them could play the important role after transition to commom monetary policy as other adjustable mechanisms. These mechanisms would help to absorb asymetric shocks our economy after joining eurozone. Finally I explain the dilemma of exchange rate mechanism ERM II and I mention the impact of global crisis on decision on adopting Euro in the Czech Republic.
