Monetárna politika a finančná nestabilita
Bunta, Filip
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of the deflation at the current monetary conditions. The starting point for the identification and differentiation of the ob-served deflationary phenomena in the Japanese and Chinese economies is the comparison of the theoretical approaches of the mainstream and alternative eco-nomics. Using the example of the United States, economic cycle is analysed accord-ing to the concept of the theory of the Austrian business cycle, which is then used in analysing the economic situation of China and Japan in the observed period.

Politika cílování inflace v České republice při úrokových mírách ve stavu technické nuly
Venský, Jakub
Venský, J. Policy of inflation targeting in the Czech Republic in the case of interest rates are in the state of technical zero. Brno: Mendel University, 2015. This thesis deals with policy of inflation targeting in the Czech Republic in the case of interest rates are in the state of technical zero. In the thesis, there are described the monetary policies, which can be used to central bank reach its primary goal in state of technical zero of interest rates. There is conducted qualitative analysis in the form of comparison of the monetary policies in the chosen countries. For the purpose of selecting a suitable instrument was performed a regression model verification of uncovered interest parity. Then, there was suggested appropriate provision to can be achieved the price stability.

Dependency between Deflation and Recession in Japan over the Past Two Decades
Vopat, Daniel ; Ryska, Pavel (advisor) ; Franče, Václav (referee)
Aim of this bachelor's thesis is to find out if and in what manner has been the real GDP growth influenced by change of price level in Japan during last twenty years. This period is in Japan characteristic by economic stagnation often accompanied by deflation. Many economists and politicians presume that deflation keeps Japanese economy from growing again and they consider deflation to be an undesirable element that needs to be prevented. We use methods of econometric analysis to achieve our goal. To be more specific we use ordinary least squares estimation on quarterly data. The model is estimated in two ways to prevent possible influence of world economic crisis in 2008 and 2009. First model takes into account all collected data and second model drops out data from world economic crisis period. According to the first mentioned model analysis, the fourth lag of price level is negatively correlated with real GDP growth on 5 % significance level. To put it in another way, deflation was followed by acceleration of quarterly real GDP growth. This correlation was insignificant in the second model. Our research indicates that there is no reason to consider deflation being the cause of long lasting economic stagnation. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The Impact of Age Structure on Inflation - Example of Developing Countries
Zakaraia, Khatia ; Ryska, Pavel (advisor) ; Janda, Karel (referee)
Many countries in the world experience demographic transition - significant decrease of fertility rates and increase share of the old population. The pace and characteristics of demographic shifts however are individual for each country. At the same time these countries face low inflation rates or even deflation. In this thesis I demonstrate how demographic changes are correlated with low inflation rates. I estimated two different models - VAR and FEM for panel data using two samples of developing countries. The primary argument of using two separate groups for estimating the same problem is robustness check, whether all three imposed hypotheses will hold in any sample of the population. These hypotheses are - first, deflation is positively correlated with increased share of the old population, second, low inflation in developing economies has structural pattern due to demographic changes and third, deflation can be forecastable if it is driven by demographic trends. Despite the heterogeneity of the results from PVAR and FEM, a negative impact of aging population on inflation has been proved. Also estimation results support our two hypotheses that low inflation if it is partially driven by aging structure changes, has structural rather than cyclical characteristics and is predictable.

Kvantitatívne uvoľňovánie v Japonsku a jeho dopad na HDP
Balážová, Jana
During the period known as Two Lost Decades Japan suffered by weak economic growth, deflation and negative output gap. By the end of 2012, Shinzo Abe was elected as prime minister of Japan and his plan so called Abenomics included extensive quantitative easing by Bank of Japan, fiscal consolidation and structural reforms. Quantitative easing included a significant increase of monetary base and its goal was to achieve the 2% inflation target. It should have encouraged the private consumption and closed the output gap. The aim of this paper is analysis of macroeconomic indicators related to quantitative easing and finding whether inflation and real GDP have increased and the output gap has been closed or not.

Dopad devizových intervencí na makroekonomické ukazatele
Roháč, Richard
This bachelor thesis deals with evaluation of CNB’s currency interventions‘ impact on macroeconomic indicators. To achieve this, an analysis of time series of these macroeconomic indicators in software Gretl is used. By creating multiple regression models, the main factors influencing change of consumer price index during intervention regime are determined. To analyze the impact of currency interventions on indicators, interaction terms are used. Exchange rate commitment itself had an impact on real import, unemployment and total consumption. It took six to twelve months before the exchange rate shock was reflected for the most part in consumer prices.

The Empirics of Deflation and Economic Growth
Ryska, Pavel ; Šíma, Josef (advisor) ; Salerno, Joseph (referee) ; Hülsmann, Jörg Guido (referee) ; White, William (referee)
Author: Pavel Ryska Doctoral thesis: The Empirics of Deflation and Economic Growth Abstract This doctoral thesis deals with the relationship between deflation and economic growth. Existing empirical research has focused on the simple link between price growth and GDP growth or introduced narrower price measures as control variables. The goal of the present work is to account for shifts in both demand and supply, so that the effect of price inflation on growth as such could be separated from effects of changes in certain elements of nominal demand and supply. The work takes two general approaches. First, I use a large macroeconomic panel data set of 20 countries over approximately 140 years to explore long-run and short-run effects of inflation on output growth, after controlling for money supply growth as a demand shifter and oil price growth as a proxy for shifts in supply. In doing so, I use a range of methods such as the vector error-correction model, autoregressive distributed lag model and the fixed effects panel model. Second, I propose a new approach that uses disaggregated sector data from national accounts on output, prices and other variables to explore the link between quantity produced and sector inflation rates. The advantage of the data set is that it is rich in modern-day observations of...

Monetary policy at a time of low interest rates and threat of deflation
Kochergin, Aleksei ; Gevorgyan, Kristine (advisor) ; Šíma, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to analyze the Czech economy during the period of foreign exchange interventions, and several months after them in the situation of impending deflation. The topic is chosen to be the most up-to-date statement by the Czech National Bank council on the termination of the exchange rate commitment, which will undoubtedly define the domestic economy for a certain period of time. The thesis deals with aspects that have forced the Czech national bank to intervene in the foreign exchange market, it examines the state of the economy during the implementation period of the intervention, and then after the end of the exchange rate commitment. The work is divided into three main parts. The first part of this work explains the essence of monetary policy and its application by the central bank. The second part explains the economic nature of deflation and different views on this issue. The third part focuses on the analysis of the economic situation in the Czech Republic and the policy of the central bank. The result of this analysis will be the assessment of the success of selected strategy on the example of macroeconomic indicators and the evaluation of its adequacy due to the findings.
