Global Economic Outlook - August 2017
Česká národní banka
The August issue of Global Economic Outlook presents the regular monthly overview of recent and expected developments in selected territories, focusing on key economic variables: inflation, GDP growth, leading indicators, interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices. In this issue, we continue our summer mini-series on the economic impacts of Brexit on the United Kingdom. In the July issue, we focused on the short-term effects, whereas this issue summarises the conclusions of the most important studies analysing Brexit from the longer-term perspective. These studies concur that the UK economy will lose out by leaving the EU, a prediction that is gradually being confirmed by actual economic developments. However, it is still difficult to estimate the real extent of the economic impacts of Brexit, as it will depend primarily on the terms negotiated between the UK and the EU. In our analysis, we therefore present the main possible scenarios quantifying how much the UK will pay for Brexit in terms of loss of GDP.

Třešňáková, Martina ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Fabianková, Klára (referee)
The goal of this final thesis is to give a comprehensive analysis of the fiscal policy of the Conservative Party from 1951 to 1957. Under the government of Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden the United Kingdom faced a number of economic and political problems, which in turn influenced its economic development. The British government tried to stop the decreasing trend of the economy in relation to other states through interventionist economic policy, which in the Great Britain is known as policy stop and go. It especially focuses on the post-war period and the consequences of the government of Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden. Based on foreign sources British economy suffered mainly by four economic problems, accelerating inflation, lack of economic growth, the uneven balance of payments and low productivity growth.

Economic and political development of Great Britain during Harold Macmillan's government (1957-1963)
Myšák, Lukáš ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Kovář, Martin (referee)
My master's thesis focuses on analysis of political and economic development of Great Britain in 1957 -- 1964 period, when the Conservative Party was in charge, led firstly by H. Macmillan and then A. Home. After Macmillan gained the post of Prime minister, due to the Suez crisis, I present an analysis of British domestic economy, whose good condition led to conservative election victory of 1959. Then I analyze the shift of British government towards decolonization of Africa and also the British decision to join ECC (predeceased with EFTA agreement). Furthermore, there is an analysis of reasons behind H. Macmillan's resignation, which were mainly of medical character. Third part of my work is considering the Home government, his position as the Prime minister and development of British economy during early 1960's. Thesis is concluded by analysis of 1964's election, where the Labour Party achieved slim victory over the Conservative Party, and therefore was able to form a government.

But with a time people could be concerned of more benefits that EU membership brought as an effective economic strategy is proved.
