Šíma, Adam ; Sehnálková, Jana (advisor) ; Perutka, Lukáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the impact of New Deal program on the unemployment in the USA in 1930s. New Deal was a series of measures reacting to the consequences of Great Depression created by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his Brain Trust. Firstly, thesis seeks to identify the unemployment estimates most suitable for set goals. It proceeds to analyze the unemployment in this era on the national as well as regional level and finds out that changes in unemployment rates reacted to the creation of public works projects. In more detail it focuses on South Atlantic region and looks for the causes of surprisingly high increase of employment rate in the period of 1929-1940. Next follows a case study of New Deal's impact on African Americans in this region. In this matter the thesis concludes, that increasing employment in the 1930s did not apply to black population in the same ways as to white population. New Deal's impact thus differed significantly throughout the US regions as well as in relation to various demographic groups.

Johnson, Zdenka ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Krebs, Vojtěch (referee) ; Slaný, Antonín (referee)
The dissertation provides an analysis, evaluation, and comparison of selected areas of economic policy in the United States of America and Germany from 1933 to 1939 within the context of the 1920s, the Great Depression, and the Second World War. Based on a thorough analysis of the determined objectives, tools, the intended and unintended impacts of their fiscal policies, monetary policies, and foreign-trade policies, the dissertation thesis aims to verify the basic hypothesis that the United States and German economic policies were largely similar as responding to similar issues that both advanced economies had to face. During the verification process, the author relies mainly on the genuine processing and analysis of original statistical sources. In the individual chapters of the dissertation both identical, and also different features in selected types of economic policies are presented. On the basis of a comparison of the main economic-policies trends, despite some differences in the partial characteristics of chosen economic policy types, it can be concluded that economic policies of the central governments of Germany and the United States of America were similar in surprisingly many respects.

Belan, Tomáš ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
This thesis deals with the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve System and the Treasury between 1933 and 1940. The work analyses the influence of the monetary policy on the U.S. economy and tries to answer the question whether it is feasible to blame the monetary policy for the slow economic recovery of the Great Depression. The principal part of the work is divided into three periods - the age of the New Deal with the emphasis on legal changes with impact on the policy of Fed, followed by a chapter dedicated to the recession of 1937-38 and finally a period from 1938 to the entry into the World War II. The results of the work imply that the monetary policy did not belong to countercyclical factors retarding the recovery of the economy after the crisis and mainly for the sake of the policy of the Treasury it was rather procyclical.
