Slaběňáková, Andrea ; Krebs, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (referee)

The Swedish economy is in many parameters like czech economy -- it is relatively small with the limited internal market. After the 2nd World War, it has become a model economy that has chose its own "third way" among capitalism and socialism. The aim of this thesis is throught the regression analysis find out if, between the years 2008 -- 2010, the long -- term unemployment was lower in Sweden in comparison with the Czech Republic and then, I estimate the regression model in which I try to quantify the positive or negative influence of chosen macroeconomic indicators of the Swedish labour market at the long-term unemployment between the years 2004 - 2013. From the outcomes of comparative analysis, the regression analysis and questionnaire, I am going to outline the possible directions of swedish experience from the Swedish labour market which could be transmissible to the Czech Republic.
