Monetary policy and asset prices.
Šperl, Adam ; Mandel, Martin (advisor) ; Houštecký, Martin (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to demonstrate why it is so difficult to find answer whether monetary policy should include asset prices into monetary rule and therefore increase financial stability. This is because monetary policy is potentially able to prevent the emergence of price bubbles. However, definition of bubbles is problematic itself, as well as identification, even ex-post. It appears that the inclusion of asset prices in monetary policy can reduce the variability of output, at the cost of increasing variability of inflation. The necessary condition is the ability to influence asset prices through monetary policy and early identification of imbalances. Furthermore, on empirical data from the Czech Republic and the USA is shown in the example of the 2008 crisis, that the central banks can use the warning signals from the market assets (eg. real estate market). But current monetary policy is not focused on financial stability. Macroprudential policy, combined with to some extent discretionary monetary policy represent a real and likely trajectory of future economic policy in the form of a new framework of care for financial stability.

Šimíček, Petr ; Dočkal, Dalibor (advisor) ; Řežábek, Pavel (referee)
This study analyses, why and how price bubbles are made on the capital markets, how different economical theories see their development and implications, how these theories could predict them and which impact bubbles have on the economy as whole and separated markets. Special accent is given on the paradigm of the behavioral finance, theories flowing from the Austrian school, fundamental analysis and other indirect factors. These problems are (in connection with nowadays world financial crisis) widely discussed among economists. The problem of price bubbles was in focus during 20's, 30's, 70's and 90's. The last part tries to find out a difficult way, how to prevent bubbles and what possibilities are during the attempts to find them. This paper operates with deduction and economical analysis method. Conclusion summarizes the results and tries to outline future development.
