Convergence of the Czech Republic to the European Union
Pešková, Jana ; Kučerová, Irah (advisor) ; Černoch, Jakub (referee)
This thesis deals with an analysis of the convergence of the Czech Republic to the first fifteen member states of the European Union. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate different types of resources that are available for the Czech Republic from the European Union and if and to what extent the development levels of the Czech Republic and the EU 15 countries come closer. The first part of this thesis describes resources provided by the European Union to its member states and funds used to their allocation. The second part focuses on drawing of these resources by the Czech Republic. Specifically, the amount of resources allocated to the Czech Republic is described and the ability of the Czech Republic to use them is analyzed. The third part, core of this work, concentrates on an analysis of several fundamental development indicators. Main indicators of both nominal and real convergence are evaluated, as well as the Human Development Index. These indicators are applied on both the Czech Republic and the EU 15 countries, they are compared and the level of the convergence between the two units is evaluated.

Připravenost České republiky k přijetí eura
Zárubová, Jana
The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to evaluate the Czech Republic's readiness to adopt the euro. Within this objective, the concept of monetary union, the European Central Bank, is explained and describes the historical development that was behind the emergence of the eurozone. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of adopting the euro. The readiness to adopt the euro is assessed using the nominal and real convergence criteria, which are first theoretically characterized and subsequently evaluated using the available data. The last chapter deals with the opinion of citizens of the Czech Republic and representatives of the current and past governments of the Czech Republic, who are interested in adopting the euro

The Convergence Process of the Czech Republic to the Federal Republic of Germany in the years 1993-2015
Křížek, David ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Ševčíková, Michaela (referee)
This diploma thesis is focuses on the Czech Republic's convergence to the Federal Republic of Germany. Both nominal and real convergences on selected indicators for the period from 1993 to 2015 are examined. Firstly, a part of the convergence of the issue, its theoretical concepts and the concepts that can be used to explore this process are devoted. The necessary political, historical and economic contexts are provided which enable the Czech Republic to position itself in relation to the Federal Republic of Germany. Subsequently, the thesis deals directly with analysis of time series. Nominal convergence is judged by the Maastricht criteria, namely the harmonized index of consumer prices and the value of long-term interest rates. Real convergence is then analyzed using the GDP indicator. The last part of this work is focused on testing beta and sigma convergence hypothesis. It is thus proven that the Czech Republic's convergence towards the Federal Republic is ongoing, but it is strongly influenced by economic cycles and other shocks to the national economy.

Analysis of real and nominal convergence of the Visegrad Group in the years 2000-2015
Wikturna, Jan ; Strejček, Ivo (advisor) ; Zamrazilová, Eva (referee)
This Bachelor thesis is focused on a macroeconomic analysis of the process of the real and nominal convergence of the Visegrad Group countries to the old member states of the European Union, called EU-15 during the period of 2000-2015. The objective of the analysis is to confirm or disprove the hypothesis that in the selected period there is a convergence of the economically backward V4 countries with the advanced EU-15 countries and to highlight the factors that are behind the narrowing of the gap in economics and price levels. The theoretical part deals with the ways in which we measure and compare the economic performance and economic level, and explains the different approaches of the problem of economic growth and the subsequent catching up effect. The practical part is focused on a comparison of elected macroeconomic indicators and reference is made to the selected factors to determine whether, and for what reasons, the economic convergence of these selected countries made towards the developed countries of the EU-15. The analytical part confirms the ongoing process of the real and nominal convergence throughout the period, but its course is varied during different times of the period. In conclusion, it is found that the rate varied by the convergence processes and in fact positively affected the V4 countries, that joined the European Union. The incoming dynamics of the convergence, especially the prices, were significantly disrupted by the economic crisis.

Analysis of readiness of the Czech Republic for entry into the Eurozone
Skála, Martin ; Pavelka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Krameš, Jaroslav (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze readiness of the Czech Republic for accession to the European Monetary Union. Although we celebrated 12th anniversary of our membership in the European Union, the Czech government still has not set a date of entrance to the Eurozone. The theoretical part of my thesis focuses on analysis of fulfillment of Maastricht criteria, which had to be fulfilled by each candidate country for membership in the currency union. In the practical part of this thesis I will evaluate the macroeconomics impacts of adapting the common European currency in new member countries. In conclusion, I will try to outline benefits and costs of membership of the Czech Republic in the Eurozone.

Příčiny a důsledky odlišného tempa nominální konvergence v zemích Visegradu
Navrátil, Josef
Navrátil, J. Causes and consequences of different course of nominal convergence in Visegrad states. Bachelor thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2015. This thesis analyzed the nominal convergence in the Visegrad countries from 1989 - 2013. The nominal convergence is considered as Maastricht convergence criteria, inflation and comparative price levels in particular countries. These values are compared to the average of the eurozone or the European Union. The results indicate that although the countries are very similar, they show different results in the convergence criteria fulfilment and the price levels development. There is a discussion concerning euro acceptance in these countries at the end of the thesis.
