- THE CURRENT ACCOUNT CONTRACT CONSIDERING GERMAN LEGISLATION In my diploma thesys I have focused on legal regulation of current account contract not only in czech law but also in german law. Is not comparison in strict sence, but just a considiration of in my opinion more exact and explicit legislation of legal institute. In introduction part I have pointed out the term of current account, its purpose and fuction. The main part is focused on applicable legislation of current account contract, its characteristic and to statutes concerning above mentioned questions (for example Act on banks, Act on payment system act). I also mention issuies of contracting parties position, management of banc account , fee for account maintenance, interest on the balance of funds on accounts, termination of contract, account owners death, payments and related deadlines for execution of payment transactions or unilateral changes to terms and conditions. I also consider to be relevant that the czech legislator introduced dual regulation of current account contract in connection with the implementation of european directive. Czech legislator distinguish between current account contract that is not a payment service contract and current account contract that is payment service contract. In my opinion this duality causes...

THE ABSTRACT In the new global economy majority of the developed countries use imposition of sanctions in the case of some offences. I have applied the synthetic control methods on this particular case of political pressure to quantify the real costs of anti-Russian sanctions to the economy. Based on the results of this study it was identified, that real GDP growth rate of Russia was continuously reducing by about -1,19% per quarter on average. Reaching the highest value of sanction's effect of -2,8% in real GDP growth rate at the end of 2015. It was also revealed that sanctions had positive effect on current account balance of Russia, that indicator was increasing during the whole studied after sanction's period by about 3,15% per quarter on average. This thesis is presented as a research of interconnection the imposition of 2014 sanctions against Russia and indicators of economic development (GDP, inflation) using synthetic control methods. It was revealed that former economic and social mechanisms aren't capable to provide further development of economy of Russia, its self-sufficiency and safety.

[pt] O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar como fatores políticos e institucionais afetam a probabilidade de ocorrência de uma parada brusca de financiamento externo e quais os custos deste evento em termos de bem- estar para o país. Utilizando uma ampla base de dados em painel, o presente trabalho deixa claro que sudden stops geram, além de custos econômicos, elevados custos ao bem-estar nacional. O resultado é robusto frente a outras especificações dinâmicas e indica que uma parada brusca custa ao país 1.25 pontos percentuais de consumo/PIB no ano do evento. Dado o expressivo impacto sobre o bem-estar social, busca-se analisar que fatores aumentam ou diminuem a probabilidade de ocorrência de uma parada brusca nos países. Conclui-se então que variáveis políticas são relevantes para determinar a probabilidade de ocorrência do evento, desde que sejam incluídas neste grupo variáveis que meçam a extensão do poder executivo e da democracia nacional. Variáveis que regulam o processo de transição e a extensão do poder executivo demonstraram ter impactos altamente significantes sobre a probabilidade de ocorrência de uma parada brusca, tanto em termos estatísticos quanto em termos de impacto absoluto. / [en] The main objectives of this dissertation are to analyze how political and institutional factors affect the likelihood of a sudden stop of external financing and to measure the costs of this event in terms of national welfare. After analyzing a wide panel database, we conclude that a sudden stop generates, besides economic effects, high costs to national welfare. The result is robust to other dynamic specifications and is estimated as a fall of 1.25 percentage points of consumption/GDP in the year of the event. This work also makes clear that political variables are relevant to determine the likelihood of a sudden stop since we include variables that measure the extent of executive power and national democracy. Variables that regulate the transitional process and extent of Executive`s power showed high significant statistical and absolute impacts on the probability of an event.

The thesis deals with the development and status of global imbalances in contemporary global economy in connection with changes in the U.S. dollar exchange rate.

經濟失衡的議題在20世紀末受到注意，泛指先進國家與新興國家經常帳發展不對稱的情形，尤以美國經常帳赤字的惡化為核心。 由於經濟失衡的現象讓未來全球的經濟成長添加了變數，經濟失衡的原因即成為專家學者間熱烈討論的議題；其中以儲蓄和投資相關的討論最多。有不少學者認為導致全球經常帳失衡的原因是美國儲蓄太低且過度消費，中國為首等新興國家卻又過度儲蓄、投資不足。作者則認為英國、日本為融通美國經常帳赤字的重要來源；先進的小國（盧森堡、新加坡、南韓、比利時）集中投資美國也是造成美國鉅額經常帳赤字的主要原因之一。另外，隨著能源價格的飆漲，油元的勢力以及其對全球經濟失衡現象所造成的影響也不容小覷。 本文以貿易依存度的高低區分出「外貿型」與「內需型」的國家，並且觀察到國際間資金淨流動的方向大致符合以下的趨勢：「外貿型」的國家傾向融資「內需型」的國家；同時金融規模較小的國家融資金融規模較大的國家。另外，金融部門的規模也和跨國資金移動的規模有關。金融規模越大的國家，跨國移動的資金規模越龐大。針對以上的觀察，作者從資金的供給與需求以及金融部門的功能提出解釋。

Kadangi neigiami šalies mokėjimų balanso rodikliai gali būti būsimo šalies ekonominio nuosmukio ar krizės priežastis, todėl būtina suvokti, kokia šių rodiklių įtaka šalies daromiems sprendimams bei nustatyti, ar šių rodiklių pagalba galima prognozuoti būsimas šalies valiutų krizes, kitaip dar vadinamas mokėjimų balanso krizėmis. Atsižvelgiant į tai, magistro baigiamajame darbe analizuojama mokėjimų balanso krizės situacija bei jos pasireiškimo tikimybė Lietuvoje. Atliktas tyrimas aktualus, nes mokslinėje literatūroje Lietuvos mokėjimų balanso krizės susidarymo rizikos analizės per pastaruosius metus nepasitaikė. Ypač Lietuvai tai aktualu dėl pastarųjų metų pasaulinių įvykių, nulėmusių Lietuvos ekonomikos smarkų smukimą. Taip pat pažymėtina, kad užsienio šalyse vis daugėja atvejų, kai šalis dėl išeikvotų užsienio valiutos rezervų patiria mokėjimų balanso krizę, priverčiančią šalį imtis drastiškų veiksmų siekiant išgelbėti šalies ekonomiką. Atsižvelgiant į aukščiau minėtą, iškeliama mokslinė darbo problema klausimu „Ar galima prognozuoti apie Lietuvos mokėjimų balanso krizės reiškinį remiantis mokėjimų balanso sąskaitų pokyčiais bei pagrindiniais makroekonominiai rodikliais, įtakojančiais mokėjimų balanso sąskaitas?“ Darbo tikslas – atlikti Lietuvos mokėjimų balanso krizės rizikos analizę ir ištirti, pagal kuriuos šalies ekonominius ir statistinius rodiklius galima prognozuoti šį reiškinį. Tyrimo objektas – Lietuvos, Latvijos ir Estijos detalūs statistiniai mokėjimų balanso... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / As the country's negative balance of payments indicators may signal the country's future economic downturn or causes of the crisis, it is necessary to understand how these variables influence country’s decisions and determine whether these characteristics can help predict future currency crises in the country, also known as the balance of payments crisis. The paper of master degree analyzes the balance of payments crisis situation and its likelihood of occurring in Lithuania. A study carried out is relevant because the scientific literature does not provide any analysis regarding the Lithuanian balance of payments crisis over the past few years. It is especially relevant in Lithuania as the worldwide events in the recent years have led to a rapid decline of the Lithuanian economy. It should also be noted that there is a growing number of cases of foreign countries experiencing balance of payments crisis, subjecting the country to take drastic action to save the country's economy. According to the above mentioned, the problem is formulated: "Is it possible to predict the Lithuanian balance of payments crisis phenomenon on the basis of balance of payments accounts, and key developments in macroeconomic indicators, influencing the balance of payments accounts?" The main goal is to analyze the Lithuanian balance of payments crisis risk and determine which country's economic and statistical indicators can predict this phenomenon. The object of the research - the detailed... [to full text]

Die Arbeit setzt sich das Ziel, den Ursache-Wirkungs-Zusammenhang zwischen den zahlungsbilanzrelevanten Transaktionen aufzudecken. Dieses Vorhaben legt eine zweigeteilte Analyse der Zahlungsbilanz nahe: Es wird zunächst über die Buchungsmechanik der nach ihrem wirtschaftlichen Charakter unterschiedenen internationalen Transaktionen aufgeklärt und anschließend folgt eine fundierte Zahlungsbilanzdiskussion, die Klarheit in die Ursache-Wirkungs-Beziehung bringt. Grenzüberschreitende Transaktionen werden eingeteilt in (reine) Finanztransaktionen und Leistungstransaktionen. Somit bezieht sich die Kausalitätsfrage auf den Zusammenhang zwischen diesen beiden Transaktionsarten. Das Ergebnis verkehrt gängige Vorstellungen über die Wirkungsrichtung ins Gegenteil und lautet: Die Leistungsbilanz bestimmt die Kapitalbilanz.
