Švestka, Vít ; Kotáb, Petr (advisor) ; Kohajda, Michael (referee)
The instruments of monetary policy and their legal regulation Abstract The goal of this paper was to perform a comprehensive analysis of Monetary Policy Instruments of the Czech Republic and the Eurosystem, including the historical, economic and international aspects of the subject matter. As the topic is significantly overlapping with economic theory, the theoretical grounds were first defined in the parts concerning historical analysis, the scope of the Czech National Bank, monetary policy and economic theory. The legal analysis of the instruments of the Czech monetary policy itself was then carried out especially in a general and special part; a comparative analysis with of the Eurosystem instruments was carried out afterward as well. The purpose of a general analysis of Czech Monetary Policy Instruments was to generalize the findings and the common features of the similar monetary policy instruments and therefore the author chose the procedure consisting in definition of the notion of the monetary policy instrument, the division of the instruments and particular instrument specification. In the following part, the author deals with the legal regime of specified monetary policy instruments. The paper provides concrete insights into the legal regime of individual monetary policy instruments. The research...

Central Bank Transparency and Price Stability
Katuščáková, Dominika ; Horváth, Roman (advisor) ; Luňáčková, Petra (referee)
The thesis investigates the central bank transparency employing the Monetary Policy Transparency Index. The main objective is to investigate recent trends in the central bank transparency. First, the level of monetary policy transparency is investigated from various aspects, as, for instance, time or geographical aspect. In the next part, all the data are averaged and linear regression analysis is carried out to detect the determinants of the monetary policy which explain the variation among the individual central banks. Finally, panel regressions are conducted to explore the time variation in the monetary policy transparency in the countries. Throughout the text, all the results are compared with the results presented in the paper by Dincer & Eichengreen (2009). The data show that the overall time trend in the level of monetary transparency is increasing. It can be concluded that inflation targeters are generally more transparent than countries with other frameworks. The same applies to advanced countries and emerging and developing countries. The de facto exchange rate regime and all political variables used significantly determine the variation in the monetary policy transparency comparing individual countries. GDP per capita and financial depth significantly influence the time variation in the...
