Kvalita úvěrových portfolií a faktory jejich vývoje ve vybraných zemích CEE
Votavová, Jolana
The thesis aims to identify and assess factors determining quality of loan portfolio in Visegrad Four in the period of 1998-2014. Literature review helped to identify factors which could have had an impact on loan quality in selected countries. The level of non-performing loans could be influenced by both macroeconomic determinants: GDP growth, unemployment rate, inflation rate, nominal effective exchange rate, and bank specific factors: cost efficiency and capital adequacy. Econometric analysis tests these factors and as statistically significant determinants having impact on quality of loan portfolios identifies mainly macroeconomics determinants (GDP growth, unemployment rate, nominal effective exchange rate) and capital adequacy.

The Role of State Ownership in Commercial Banks: Experience of CEE Transition Countries
Wu, Jiao ; Mejstřík, Michal (advisor) ; Mickiewicz, Tomasz (referee)
Central and Eastern Europe(CEE) is the region where the ownership of banks has been through the most fundamental and massive changes during the past two decades. This paper analyses the role of state-ownership in commercial banks, whether and why state ownership imposes negative effects on commercial banks in CEE transition countries, through both theoretical arguments and empirical testings. The thesis summarizes previous literature and analyses the role of banking ownership and performance, particularly though a dynamic view of the banking privatisation process. It investigates the reasons why state-owned banks are harmful in CEE countries from a corporate governance point of view. Followed by empirical tests on this topic, including banking production efficiency measurement using Stochastic Frontier Analysis and second-stage regression analysis about the effects of ownership on banking efficiency and asset quality. This paper finds out that the state ownership of banks imposes negative effects on bank performance and hinders successful privatisation of enterprises. Banking production efficiency has been improving greatly in late 1990s and stayed at a constant high level in 2000s. Through panel data regressions, we find the negative effects of state-ownership on banking production efficiency and asset...

Výhody a nevýhody snižování nákladů na financování skrze společenskou odpovědnost
Bandžak, Richard ; Klosová, Anna (advisor) ; Tong Clark, Junie (referee)
The dissertation thesis investigates the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance (FP) on the sample of 51 Eurozone banks over the period from 2008 to 2014. The investigation is based on a panel data regression analysing the financial data from Bankscope and the social performance data from CSRHub. Return on assets and the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans represent the measures of financial performance and are used as dependent variables. The results of this model have shown a positive and statistically significant CSR-FP relationship. It is argued that even though the results show statistical significance, they do not necessarily include such a strong informational value. This is caused by methodological limitations, such as potentially biased data on CSR, as well as by the theoretical ones. The main theoretical concern, detected in the dissertation thesis, is a need for redefinition of the banks' driving motives of engaging in CSR activities. Banks engaging in CSR activities for merely strategic reasons should be analysed separately on a firm-level as they may otherwise bias the empirical results. Another important aspect of the work was an argument that banks benefit from CSR mainly through the product differentiation. This could not have been tested empirically, but it is assumed that the product differentiation, for example through reputation enhancement, may play a significant role in boosting bank's profits.
