The role of credit default swaps during the subprime mortgage crisis in 2007-2009
Lazukićová, Andrea ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Vozková, Karolína (referee)
This thesis focuses on the role of credit default swaps during the subprime mortgage crisis 2007-2009 with special focus on mortgage-backed securities. In the empirical part of the thesis, three models are constructed. All of them have the same dependent variable, a mortgage delinquency rate in the 2005-2010 period, and independent variables representing various types of credit default swaps issued. Streamlined in each model, credit default swaps (CDS) were divided based on certain criteria (underlying sectors, maturity and ranking) and subsequently compared and analysed. By using the probit model, the main research question "How the probability of mortgage delinquency depends on the volume of credit default swaps issued?" was inspected. The contribution of this thesis is three-fold. First, we show that a delinquency rate of mortgages was correlated with the maturity of CDS issued (the delinquency rate was higher for short-term loans). Second, we state that the volume of subprime loans increased along with the volume of issued CDS, what contradicts to the insurance nature of a CDS. Finally, a mortgage delinquency rate was lower in the 2006-2008 period than in 2009-2011, what implies the domino effect of failing mortgages had an immense impact even after the global crisis.

Subprime crisis and behaviour of central banks in reaction to this crisis
Hlaváčková, Kateřina ; Kovářík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Janíčko, Martin (referee)
This essay deals with emergence, collapse and concequences of the credit crisis called subprime crisis culminating in the August of 2007. There are J.A. Schumpeter's economic theories used in this work that are relevant to discuss the beginning and developement of this crisis. As importat of these theories I consider the theory of business cycle which may be applied to Great Depression from the Thirties of Twentieth Century. At the beginning of this thesis I am focusing on the theory of endogenous money as a fundament for financial crisis analyse. Further I argue about the behaviour of bankers changing within the business cycle. I describe the behaviour of Federal Reserve officials over the course of the subprime crisis and subsequently the response of the central banks to the crisis. Finally I deal with the Minsky's perspective on the credit crunch.
