This diploma thesis will address the issue of civil protection objects. The first part is devoted to acquainting with the terminology related to the prices in construction, population protection, civil protection objects and evacuation of the population. The second part is devoted to determining the price for specific civil protection objects. Here are the budgets for different types of shelters. The resulting prices will be compiled for price indices, which will allow a quick revaluation of an object of this type. The functionality of these indicators will be verified by compiling an additional budget for civil protection shelter. The different types of shelters are compared to each other. Minimum maintenance costs for these shelters will be determined, as well as options for the use of civil protection facilities at peace.

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of interest rates on house price changes in Sweden for the case of one and two dwelling buildings. Basically, three procedures were used for analysis. First, correlation analysis was used to investigate and test if there has been any relationship between interest rates and house price in Sweden in the past two decades. Second, multiple regressions analysis with consideration of hetroskedasticity autocorrelation or HAC (newey-west standard) errors was applied to test the impact of changes of interest rates on house price. Finally, distributed lag model was applied to examine the impact of interest on house price through time. The result shows that there is strong inverse relationship between interest rates (governmental bond rates, mortgage bond rates, lending rates and repo rates) and housing price index. The regression coefficients show that the decrease in the interest rate is followed by corresponding increase in the housing price index for all the given interest rates. The other finding is that more than 92 percent variation in the housing price index is explained by changes in interest rates, changes in net house hold disposable income, inflation rate and supply. The result also shows the lag effects of changes of interest rates on housing price. The major implication of this study is that fluctuations in interest affect homebuyers, home sellers, household incomes and investors. The study also suggests that further detail investigation on house price dynamics is crucial for monetary policy.

This dissertation investigates the long and the short run relationships as well as the causal relationship between oil price movements and exchange rates. The study uses daily data for a 12-year period commencing in January 2007 and December 2018, focuses on four net oil exporting African countries, namely, Nigeria, Angola, Algeria and Egypt. The data was analysed using the time series techniques covering unit root, cointegration and causality analyses. The results of the study found that in the long run, oil prices movements are observed to be negatively related to the returns on the Nigerian Naira, Egyptian Pounds and Algerian Dinar indicating that an oil price increases result in the depreciation of the exchange rates for each of the aforementioned countries. In the short run, oil prices movements are observed to be positively related to the returns on Nigerian Naira, Egyptian Pounds and Algerian Dinar indicating that oil price increase results in the appreciation of the exchange rates. The causality results show evidence of bidirectional causality for the Nigerian Naira and the Angolan Dinar, unidirectional causality for the Egyptian pound and lastly no evidence of causality was found for the Angolan Kwanza. This dissertation suggests the policymakers to stabilize the effects of oil price movements through expansionary monetary policy, to shield African economies from sudden economic depression.
