Je měnová politika ECB vhodná pro všechny státy eurozóny?
Machala, Martin ; Řežábek, Pavel (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Pavel (referee)
The theoretical part of this thesis is devoted to the position, goals and tools used by the European Central Bank, which is bound with the development of monetary policy influenced by the time period starting with foundation of the EU central bank to current days, full of problems with eurozone. The main aim of this thesis is to prove whether the EU central bank monetary policy is suitable for all eurozone countries or just some of them. The main tool for the analysis is the optimum currency area theory, which compares the inflation of countries which are members of eurozone, with the monetary policy of the European Central Bank. The results confirm that in the long term, the inflation in eurozone countries which are currently in major economic problems substantially differ from the average inflation of the eurozone. From results of the analysis it is obvious that there is no convergence in inflation. Convergence in inflation is an important condition when creating an optimal currency area. Because of its absence the next statement can not be true. A common monetary policy for all countries of the eurozone is not always optimal.

Is common fiscal policy an essential condition for the functioning of the optimal currency area?
Fehér, Richard ; Mládek, Josef (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Pavel (referee)
This thesis deals with the adjustment mechanisms, which should mitigate the effects of assymetric shocks in monetary area. According to the theory of Optimum Currency Areas (OCA), synchronization of business cycles has been observed as the cause of assymetry. Primarily we focused on the functionality of the adjustment mechanisms in the countries of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), whereas the impact of recent crises has shown that these mechanism do not work sufficiently. One possible reason is the fact, that in EMU there is no risk-sharing mechanism through fiscal transfers. Therefore, the work deals with fiscal policy in euro area, its possible reforms and offers the concept of fiscal federalism as one of the possible models for the fiscal structure in EMU. We analyzed how fiscal systems in the U.S., Australia and Canada were performing during recent crisis and how they could be an inspiration for prospective reforms in EMU.
