Natural Catastrophes and Financial Development
Mikulíková, Pavla ; Horváth, Roman (advisor) ; Jakubík, Petr (referee)
Master's thesis - Natural Catastrophes and Financial Development Pavla Mikul'ıkov'a Academic year 2022/2023 Natural disasters affect lives of many people every year. Using a panel dataset of 214 countries from 1970 to 2021, this thesis analyses the impact of disasters on financial development, namely on depth, efficiency, access, and sta- bility, using fixed effects and system GMM estimators. The main findings imply that depth and stability are negatively affected by disasters, and the impact is more pronounced for lower-income countries. On the other hand, efficiency and access provide no consistent results. There is no type of disasters, e.g., biologi- cal or geophysical, that would have a significant impact on all types of financial development. The effect probably varies due to the different characteristics of disaster types. 1

Influence of short sales and margin requirements on portfolio efficiency - a DEA-risk approach
Branda, Martin
We focus on efficiency of assets and portfolios available to investors on financial markets. We employ diversification consistent DEA-risk models with CVaR deviations as the inputs and expected rate of return as the output. Moreover, we allow short selling and take into account margin requirements. Our model is then employed in an empirical study where selected assets from US stock market are investigated. The sample approximation technique is used to deal with the multivariate skew-normal distribution of random returns.
