Johnson, Zdenka ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Krebs, Vojtěch (referee) ; Slaný, Antonín (referee)
The dissertation provides an analysis, evaluation, and comparison of selected areas of economic policy in the United States of America and Germany from 1933 to 1939 within the context of the 1920s, the Great Depression, and the Second World War. Based on a thorough analysis of the determined objectives, tools, the intended and unintended impacts of their fiscal policies, monetary policies, and foreign-trade policies, the dissertation thesis aims to verify the basic hypothesis that the United States and German economic policies were largely similar as responding to similar issues that both advanced economies had to face. During the verification process, the author relies mainly on the genuine processing and analysis of original statistical sources. In the individual chapters of the dissertation both identical, and also different features in selected types of economic policies are presented. On the basis of a comparison of the main economic-policies trends, despite some differences in the partial characteristics of chosen economic policy types, it can be concluded that economic policies of the central governments of Germany and the United States of America were similar in surprisingly many respects.

Šmídová, Barbora ; Soběhart, Radek (advisor) ; Fabianková, Klára (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on postwar inflation in Germany and on how the inflation moved up to hyperinflation. In the first part I would like to analyze the period to the year of 1914. How the central bank of German Empire functioned and in what condition had public finance occured before the war. The other parts deal with the course of war and postwar period in Weimar republic to the year of 1923. I tried to clarify, which sources were used by german government to finance the war and what role played here the central bank. I also consider, what influence had the total sum of reparation payments on deepening the inflation in Germany, which were set by Treaty of Versailles. In conclusion, I will summarize the stabilizing effect of german currency.

Růžička, Tomáš ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
This thesis deals with German hyperinflation, which culminated in 1923. Some aspects of prior-war monetary and fiscal policy are mentioned in the introduction. The main subject of this thesis is focused on war economy and after-war period, identification of structural changes in the economy, which happened during this period, and it measures factors, which might directly or indirectly, caused inflations' origins. The goal of this thesis is analysis of impacts of governmental financial politics, analysis of influence of external factors and historical facts. German economy faced these historical facts and they subsequently influenced governmental politics during the whole period from the beginning of war till the end of hyperinflation and monetary reform in 1923. From the general view over the contemporary historical consequences and decisions of German government I am trying to identify direct and indirect causes of inflation and hyperinflation.
