Fiscal rules in selected EU countries between 2004-2015: sensible method for consolidation of public finances or fad of politicians?
Veselý, Lukáš ; Strejček, Ivo (advisor) ; Chmelová, Pavla (referee)
The subject of fiscal rules is very topical issue. The rise of public debt in certain developed countries resulted in what is sometimes called "debt crisis". Debt of those countries which is higher than their annual gross domestic product is viewed as unpayable by some economists. The main objective of this thesis has been to prove or disprove hypothesis that the fiscal rules studied in this paper are an effective solution for public finance consolidation. This verification was based on the analysis of fiscal rules functioning in selected countries between 2004 and 2015. As per results of analysis the paper aims to give recommendations for the Czech financial constitution proposal. The actual results of inquiry proved the hypothesis. Well-chosen fiscal rules are the right way towards fiscal consolidation, provided they are observed. Fiscal rules making thus requires an emphasis to be placed on the well-formulated exit clauses altogether with prospective sanctions. The current Czech financial constitution proposal is built on the correctly picked fiscal rule type, although the reference value lacks economic sense and it would not lead, with a high degree of probability, towards fiscal consolidation.

Problems of Nominal and Real Convergence in the Czech Republic before Euro Adoption
KAČENOVÁ, Petra
Czech Republic is one of the former countries of so called Eastern Bloc who decided to return {\clqq}back to Europe`` after the communist regime collapsed. The first step was taken May 1, 2004, when the country joined the European Union. The next step that expects the country after it meets the Maastricht convergence criteria is the adoption of the Single European Currency, euro. In order to meet the requirements of the European Union, Czech Republic must meet the convergence criterion of price stability, the criterion of long-term interest rates, the criterion of annual government deficit, the criterion of government debt and the criterion of exchange rate stability. Since the country joined the European Union, the criterion of price stability was not met in the years 2007 and 2008 only. Czech Republic meets the criterion of interest rates safely. The same applies to the criterion of the government debt. The criterion of government deficit is still being met, with a short exception in 2005. The criterion of exchange rate stability cannot be evaluated because the Czech Republic has not joined the ERM II system yet. The Gross Domestic Product keeps growing every year in the Czech Republic, however, not enough to reach the GDP growth rate in the old EU countries. On the contrary, the unemployment rate in CR is comparable with the EU. The exact date for Euro adoption will be set by the Government of the Czech Republic after the above mentioned critera are met. Introducing the Single European Currency in the Czech Republic may cause certain changes. For example as far as inflation is concerned, euro adoption itself will not cause any rise in price level, but unfortunately we cannot avoid a price increase. When looking at the business sector, it can be stated that probably the size of a business or firm will play an important role, and especially its specialization. Purchasing power of the population should not change substantially after the euro adoption. First of all, the stability and height of the exchange rate of CZK against euro will be important. Economic growth depends on the productivity of factors of production and on the unemployment rate. Since the Czech economy is open towards eurozone countries, I assume that the productivity of factors of production will grow and thus also the economic growth in the CR. Introduction of euro should have only negligible influence on the tax sector. With respect to the gathered values of indicators relevant for the a.m. criteria I assume that the Czech Republic will be ready to adopt euro, with some minor exceptions. Adopting the single European currency in the Czech Republic will be apparently a benefit. However, the most important aspect will be the right timing of euro adoption and the economic development in the neighboring countries, or more precisely in the eurozone countries.

Tomas Ricka Stránka 1 Title: The influence of public policy on legal order of Czech Republic during transition Abstract: The thesis deals with public policy, its key components and influences on the institutional environment. The major aim of the thesis was to analyze, what was the influence of public (economic) policy in transition on the creation of rules in the Czech Republic. Who created the policy? How was the policy conducted? What was the role of the rules? What was the international context in that era? What was the influence of these external factors on the development in the Czech Republic. Other goals of the thesis dealt with the following: availability of suitable tools to analyze transition; key assumptions of public policy; rule making; the role of rule makers. The thesis does not attempt to describe all relevant approaches from modern economic theory that would be useful to analyze the transition processes. The thesis uses a selection of tools that can help to analyze institutions and rules in society from another view, than does standard legal theory or political science. Use of tools of economic analysis (especially from the area of microeconomics and new approaches of economics) can be characterized as complementary for institutional analysis. Transition and privatization of state property...
