The Czech Republic and the Euro Area
Fiedlerová, Lucie ; Ježek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kubelková, Karina (referee)
This graduation thesis is concerned with the Czech Republic's readiness for the entry to the euro area. Our Republic engaged to adopt shared euro currency already before the single admission to the European union, therefore it is not suitable to research, whether the Czech Republic should adopt euro or not, but when this step will be the most appropriate to render. The introductory part of the theses describes the history of the European monetary integration and the Stability and Growth Pact as an important instrument of the budget branch adherence. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the theory of optimal monetary areas, which is closely associated with monetary integration. Analytical section examines the rate of nominal and real approximation of Czech economy to the euro area's economies. I deal thoroughly with the fulfilment of convergence criteria and on the basis of GDP growth rate I analyse the real convergence. I solve the current influence of Greece's problems on the admission of euro in the Czech Republic and the Slovak macroeconomic experience with the entry to the euro area.

Development of the Czech exchange rate policy and its effects on the balance of trade
Gajdušková, Kateřina ; Plchová, Božena (advisor) ; Korandová, Jiřina (referee)
This thesis focuses on the development of exchange rate policy in the Czech Republic and its effect on the balance of trade. The first part considers the exchange rate and its regimes, balance of trade and factors that determine them. The most of the exchange rate theories is not valid in the Czech Republic, it is caused by the fact that the development of the exchange rate is influenced by all the factors together. In my thesis there I concerned with the exchange rate compensatory mechanism in more detail. The relation between the exchange rate and the balance of trade is in the case of small open economy like the Czech Republic evident, but the exchange rate is not always the determined factor that affects the final height of Czech exports or imports. These facts are confirmed in the second part of this thesis that analyses the development of exchange rate policy in the Czech Republic during the period 1993-2008.

Analysis of selected aspects of the balance of payments of the Czech Republic
Němeček, Přemysl ; Plchová, Božena (advisor) ; Nigrinová, Lenka (referee)
Balance of payments is a key tool for the analysis of external equilibrium of a country. In this paper I present the analysis of selected aspects of the balance of payments of the Czech Republic from 2003 to 2008. It was found out, that the basic characteristic is a deficit on current account, backed by a surplus on financial account, especially by inflow of direct foreign investements. Several risks for Czech economy may be assumed: trade balance deficit at the end of 2008, growing deficit on the current account, outflow of gains from direct investments, deteriorating investment position and rising external debt. Some relations were confirmed (effect of portfolio and direct investments on exchange rate, effect of interest rate differential on portfolio investments, effect of investment incentives on trade balance), others were not confirmed (effect of the exchange rate on trade balance).
