Linkages between financial sector and real output - empirical evidence from the Czech Republic
 Tomis, Martin ; Geršl, Adam (advisor) ; Jakubík, Petr (referee)
This thesis studies various ways in which the financial sector may affect the real economy. Particular attention is devoted to the bank lending channel of monetary transmission which amplifies monetary policy through changes in the supply of bank loans. We analyze the theoretical foundations of this channel, review international empirical literature and identify characteristic features of Czech financial system. Due to the important role of bank loans in the Czech Republic and the limited availability of alternative sources of finance, we hypothesize that the channel should be operative in the Czech Republic. Using a VEC model we analyze aggregate data for 2001-2011. Impulse response functions are then used to identify responses of the lending rate and the amount of loans to a monetary shock. Based on these responses we conclude the bank lending channel was operative.

The Impact of Monetary Policy on Financing of Czech Firms
 Aliyev, Ruslan ; Hájková, Dana ; Kubicová, Ivana
This paper uses firm-level financial data for Czech firms and tests for the role of companies’ financial structure in the transmission of monetary policy. Our results indicate that higher short-term interest rates coincide with lower shares of total debt, short-term bank loans, and long-term debt. We find that firm-specific characteristics, such as size, age, collateral, and profit, affect the way in which monetary policy changes are reflected in the external financing decisions of firms. These findings indicate the presence of informational frictions in credit markets and hence provide some empirical evidence of the existence of broad credit and relationship lending channels in the Czech Republic.
