Doucha, Jan ; Kozák, Kryštof (advisor) ; Fiřtová, Magdalena (referee)
This paper deals with the reaction of the US Government to the financial crisis of 2008. The research intention is to confirm the hypothesis: American political representation, which is bipolary divided, can vote impartially and non-partisan in case of a threat. Research was focused on two specific measures: "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008" and "The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act". These laws were discussed by the U. S. Congress as a reaction to the financial crisis. This paper is a comparative analysis of voting process of mentioned laws in context of the influence of interest groups. Text can offer section dedicated to the deatiled results of voting process followed by section dedicated to its evaluation, where the hypothesis is tested by asking questions: "How partisan were the votes?" and "What is the influence of lobby on the political system?". By performed analysis we have confirmed the hypothesis that in the case of crisis situations, the American political representation is able to seek non-party solutions. We also confirmed that the influence of interest groups is real, though difficult to measure.

An analysis of the U.S. government and FED's bailout programs in times of 2008 financial crisis and their impact on the U.S. public debt
Vilímovský, Petr ; Havlíček, David (advisor) ; Stádník, Bohumil (referee)
The financial crisis of 2008 substantially affected global affairs in the early 21st century. Its epicentre lay in the U.S. real estate, mortgage and derivatives markets. In response to the crisis the U.S. government in cooperation with the Federal Reserve established a number of emergency provisions aimed at stabilizing the economy as well as stimulating growth. The objective of this thesis is to analyse the selected provisions in terms of their respective costs, impact on economic indicators and impact on the U.S. public debt. The practical part of this thesis is based on cost-benefit analysis and graphical analysis. Due to the large number of provisions only the most important ones with the highest actual or estimated costs have been analysed. It seems that the TARP program has been the biggest success as it helped to stabilize the interbank market while being poised to be profitable. The first QE is also deemed successful for it helped to start a desired increase in the price level during the period of deflation. The ARRA on the other hand had a minimal impact on the economy while entailing enormous costs. Same applies to the second QE which only led to a factual monetization of the U.S. public debt.
