Selected measures of economic policy of presidents Ford and Carter in the context of the oil shocks
Košut, Jaroslav ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Tajovský, Ladislav (referee)
The 1970s are well known mostly thanks to the events of the first and second oil shock, which changed the economic landscape in the US and in the world for years to come. The theoretical section of this thesis is devoted to the situation before and during the oil shocks: their origins and circumstances, political developments as they progressed and their effects on the oil market. The analytical section examines economic policies of United States presidents Gerald Ford and James Carter and points out successes or failures of their various measures. It describes the course of events concerning economic growth, inflation and unemployment over the course of the 1970s and addresses the causes of their developments in each year. The work is concluded with a comparison of the selected economic aggregates and claims that economic policy of President Carter dealt with the impact of the oil shock more successfully than economic policy of President Ford.
