The doctoral thesis consists of three essays that address the application of synthetic control method to various economic policy intervention. In the first essay I evaluate the quantitative effects of the Czech National Bank's commitment to keep the Koruna from appreciating that were put in place in 2013. I find that the commitment helped decrease unemployment substantially. The effect on overall output is also strongly positive, almost 2 percentage points for growth in 2015. The effect of the commitment on inflation is positive but not statistically significant at standard levels. In the second essay I focus on the impact of joining the EU on the Czech agriculture. The results show that the Czech Republic would have had a higher food index if it had not entered the CAM and CAP.

In the final essay I estimate how the UK financial markets would have evolved if the Remain camp had won the referendum.

Por um lado, como as contribuições desenvolvidas por técnicos, partidos políticos e intelectuais se fizeram presentes no interior do movimento, com destaque para o economista Celso Furtado, importante expoente da Comissão Econômica para América Latina e Caribe (CEPAL), e para as concepções políticas do Partido Comunista Brasileiro (PCB). E, por outro lado, quais foram as mudanças sofridas em decorrência das alterações conjunturais ocorridas com a ascensão do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) ao governo federal. Compreende, principalmente, o período dos governos de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010), fazendo referência, mas de forma incidental, aos governos de Dilma Rousseff, tendo em vista que seu segundo mandato ainda está em curso. Para contextualizar, reconstituiremos analiticamente a atuação do MST nas duas últimas décadas, com o objetivo de destacar suas alterações programáticas e o contexto em que se operaram, verificando as teorias que inspiram seu programa político. É parte do nosso trabalho a identificação da composição social do MST, trazendo à tona o debate sobre a persistência do campesinato na formação social brasileira e oseu papel em um projeto contra-hegemônico. / In this research we will be analysing the agrarian program of the Landless Workers Movement (MST). We will be identifying their influences, ruptures and continuities, in two aspects. On one hand, we'll identify how the contributions developed by technicians, political parties and intellectuals made themselves present within the movement, pointing out the economist Celso Furtado, as an important exponent of the Economic Comission to Latin America and Caribe (CEPAL), and the political conception of the Comunist Party of Brasil (PCB). And, in the other hand, we'll identify what were the changes suffered as a result of cyclical modifications with the rise of the Workers Parties (PT) to the federal government. Here we comprehend mainly the period of the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010), referring, too, indirectly, to the government of Dilma Rousseff, considering that the government is still ongoing. To contextualize, we will rebuild analiticaly the performance of the MST in the last two decades, with the purpose of highlighting it's programmatic changes and the context in which it operates, verifying theories that inspire it's political program. It's part of our job to identify the social composition of the MST, bringing up the debate about the persistence of the peasantry in the Brazilian social formation, and i'ts role in a counter-hegemonic project.

The practical part of this thesis is draft of the project "Fallow deer farm" that is in compliance with existing conception of rural development and other legal conditions and fullfills criteria for providing of finacial support.

The aim of the thesis was to introduce the principles of common agriculture policy and the farming processs of ecological farmer on the farm in the Klatovy region. Furthermore I wanted to point to the legal basis of this kind of business and to other options for possible activity diversification of a farmer due to the agriculture tourism. There are suggested three projects in the thesis that the farmer could ask for within the Rural development programme to extend his business. The first project for building own slaughter would support the partnership principle, the farmer will slaughter stock to other farmers in the neighbourhood. The second project deals with the present production enlargement and ensures the quality of stock life, the third project provides the diversificated activity in agriculture that should give support to enterprise revenues.
