Capital Regulation, Bank Ownership and Bank Risks: Evidence from Central and Eastern Europe, and Asia
Gwee, Tian Jie ; Gregor, Martin (advisor) ; Dědek, Oldřich (referee) ; Bruno, Randolph Luca (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the association of ownership structure and bank risk-taking as well as the effects of capital regulation. This study employs simultaneous equations, panel data and instrumental variables (IV) models on a sample of 192 banks from Eastern Central Europe and Asia Regions from 2005-2014. An assessment was made on how banks adjust their capital level as well as portfolio risks when there is a minimum capital regulatory ratio. The results indicate that firstly, banks react to the capital regulatory pressure by increasing capital and changes in capital and bank risk changes are positively related. Secondly, it is found that Foreign-owned banks have higher default risks than Domestic-owned banks; however, Government-owned banks are more stable in terms of asset risks measure during the year when there is election. When taking the market forces into account, in listed banks, insider owners and institutional owners have positive impacts on asset risks while positive asset risks on listed Government-owned banks only during the election. Finally, the findings also show that when capital regulation is taken as a moderating variable, it has influenced the impacts of ownership structure and bank risk, however, the increasing effects can only be proven for insider owners...

Econometric Analysis of Financial Data
Baniar, Matúš ; Zichová, Jitka (advisor) ; Cipra, Tomáš (referee)
Econometric Analysis of Financial Data Author: Matúš Baniar Department: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: RNDr. Jitka Zichová, Dr. Abstract: In some occasions, financial data can be represented as a combination of cross-sectional and time-series information. Hence it could be convenient to consider a system of econometric equations for modeling such data sets. At the beginning of this thesis, we describe general definitions and we talk about different types of variables from the perspective of exogeneity. Later, we describe some specific cases of these equations: SUR system, simultaneous equation models and the model of vector autoregression. For selected models, we also discuss estimation methods and their properties. In the final section, the described approach is applied to real financial data making use of appropriate software. Keywords: exogeneity, SUR system, simultaneous equations, VAR

The effects of price on alcohol consumption
Janovský, Stanislav ; Hlaváč, Petr (advisor) ; Potužák, Pavel (referee)
This paper considers the relationship between alcohol price and alcohol consumption in the Czech republic in years 1996 - 2008. The purpose of the paper is to find appropriate econometric model and identify the price elasticity of alcohol demand in the Czech Republic. Simultaneous equations model was chosen as the most suitable one. No statistically significant relationship between alcohol price and alcohol consumption was proved for any type of alcoholic beverage. The second part of the project studies the effort of states to regulate the alcohol consumption using the rise in prices. It deals with consumption taxes and minimum prices, nowadays very discussed topic in Europe. It endeavours to estimate the real impact of the regulation and compares minimum prices with consumption taxes.
