Objective Objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the recent economic crisis of 2007/2008 on the subjective well-being and health status in thirteen European countries. Methods The European Social Survey (ESS) database was searched for individual health and wellbeing indicators and the database of the European Commission Eurostat for economic indicators. Data representing social determinants like education, housing and employment status and others before, during and after the crisis were retrieved. Eurostat data were used to analyse economic indicators and health outcomes on country level. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the changes in the different parameters over time. Regression analysis was performed to demonstrate relations between subjective well-being and different social determinants. Results Between 2006 and 2012 all countries experienced changes in their populations' subjective well-being. From 2006 to 2010 (crisis) the number of people with good or very good subjective well-being increased in France, Ireland, Belgium and Portugal by 0.6%, 1.0%, 1.2% and 6.5%, respectively. In Denmark and Spain this number remained basically stable. In Sweden, the United Kingdom, Finland and Germany the percentage of the population with good or very good subjective well-being decreased by 1.1%, 2.7%, 1.7% and 2.8%, respectively. Regression analysis demonstrated a significant relation between good and very good subjective well-being and level of education, main activity during the last 7 days, satisfaction with life, satisfaction with household income, main source of household income, gender and age. This relation differed for various factors and countries. In none of the countries satisfaction with national health services and satisfaction with current state of economy within the country was found significantly related to subjective well-being. The main amendable determinant correlating with a higher degree of subjective well-being is good education. The correlation between education and subjective well-being got stronger after the crisis than before or during the crisis. Conclusion Economic development does not have a uniform impact on subjective well-being. Education is a major amendable determinant influencing individual well-being. We could not find evidence for any significant impact of the organization of the healthcare services or social system on the subjective well-being.

This thesis focuses the financing of non-governmental organizations. The main part is devoted to financial sources which can use Czech non-profit organizations (NGOs). Fundraising is how NGOs get financial and non-financial support. The practical part consists of an analysis of financial sources and survey among NGOs. The aim is to analyze selected changes that influence non-profit organizations and their fundraising activities. An economic crisis had a significant impact on non-profit organizations. It has slightly changed the structure of financial resources. Although there was an increase in own revenues, government grants are still the dominant source. Importance of European funds also grows. The new Civil Code which came into force on 1 January, 2014 can strengthen individual and corporate donations.

The aim of this master thesis is to analyze the relationship between the economic crisis and the financial perspective valid for the period 2007--2013. The first theoretical chapter presents the origin of economic crisis in the USA and its extension to Europe. Then the EU budget is described. The second chapter analyzes the influence of the economic crisis on the expenditure and the revenue side of the EU budget and on the EU budget reform. The third chapter summarizes the results. This part of the thesis shows also the influence of the economic crises on the new budget perspective after 2013.

The main purpose of this thesis is to examine and compare the development of Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish economy in the last years. Basic macroeconomic indicators are used to compare the economic development of Norway, Sweden and Finland. The thesis is divided into several parts to elaborate on the topic in a more structured way. The first chapter focuses on economic facts about these countries. The second part deals with economic development in new millennium (between 2000-2006). The following chapter compares the development of Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish economy in the economic crisis. The last chapter informs about economic development projection created on the basis of a regression analysis.

The purpose of this diploma thesis is complex analysis of labour market in the Czech Republic since the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, with the emphasis on the critical years 2008-2012. The object of the analysis is the investigation of labour market indicators by trend analysis and standard errors, assessment of the hypothesis about volatility of labour market, determination of strong and weak labour market indicators, further the comparison with countries, which succeeded during the economic crisis, and some possible steps, which would lead to stabilization of the Czech labour market. Finally I investigate if the ruling political parties affect the economy (unemployment rate and inflation) in order to increase their chances of being re-elected by using the linear regression. In conclusion the labour market indicators are very volatile, although the Czech labour market is in good condition in comparison with other countries in the European Union. The political business cycle research shows that it does not occur in the Czech Republic, but this can be caused by the transformation period and the short time series.

The third part presents the effects of the crisis on FDI flow and the last part concentrates on the transition economies.

The main aim of the Thesis is to evaluate the impact of introduction of so called Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure (MIP) on the european economic governance system. This procedure was adopted as one of many measures by which the EU has responded to the economic crisis. The crisis has fully revealed, inter alia, inadequate coordination of economic policies in the EU. For a long time has been the tighter form of the coordinaton focused only on indicators of fiscal discipline. The first chapter of this thesis provides an explanation of the concept of european economic governance and its development since the signing of Treaty of Rome. The second chapter is devoted to the development and impact of the economic crisis in the EU and the measures that have been adopted at EU level in order to improve european economic governance. The core of the thesis is the third chapter which focuses on the analysis of development of indicators monitored during MIP. The fourth chapter provides an overview of the aspects that are newly included in European economic governance thanks to MIP.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Tonelo_Iuri_M.pdf: 935800 bytes, checksum: 23f75257aa73005b68f77d7fad3d4e2f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014 / Resumo: Este trabalho teve como ponto de partida a pesquisa sobre o conceito de crise capitalista no pensamento de Karl Marx, em que centramos o estudo na obra O capital (particularmente livros primeiro, segundo e terceiro). A partir disso, o estudo tinha por finalidade traçar um paralelo entre o conceito de crise em Marx com as elaborações posteriores à (obra) O Capital, que dialogavam diretamente com ela, a fim de demonstrar que existe uma continuidade teórica entre o pensamento de Marx e de alguns de seus sucessores, particularmente da geração marxista russa que elaborou sobre o tema nas duas primeiras décadas do século XX ¿ levando em conta que essa continuidade teórica não se apresentou como uma reprodução dogmática das teses de Marx, mas como desenvolvimento das tendências que se apresentavam na obra de 1867, que ganharam forma histórica particularmente na virada do século XX, com o advento do imperialismo como época. Para concretizar essa análise, fizemos um breve estudo das conclusões da primeira investigação à luz de um fenômeno político expressivo dessa época, a Primeira Guerra Mundial, buscando efetivar uma leitura desse fenômeno à luz da teoria econômica e social do marxismo, em particular relacionando-o com a problemática da crise capitalista. O intuito conclusivo, portanto, visava concretizar esses dois objetivos de: a) sistematizar uma leitura da crise em Marx e b) demonstrar sua continuidade teórica no marxismo do século XX à luz de um acontecimento histórico, a Guerra Mundial, de modo a contribuir com os estudos do tema e em particular oferecer uma leitura que permita aprofundar a relação entre O Capital e estudos posteriores / Abstract: This paper has as its point of departure the research about the concept of capitalist crisis in the thought of Karl Marx, in whose main work, The Capital, we focus the study (particularly books first, second and third). The study had in its purpose trace a parallel between the concept of crisis in Marx with elaborations after The Capital, dialoguing directly with this work, with the object of demonstrating the existence of a theoretical continuity between Marx's thought and some of his successors, mainly the generation of russian marxists which elaborated the theme in the first two decades of the tweentieth century - taking into account that this theoretical continuity didn't present itself as a dogmatic reproduction of Marx's theses, but as a development of the tendencies appeared in the 1867 work, gaining historical form particularly in the turn of the tweentieth century with the advent of imperialism as a capitalist epoch. To turn the analysis concrete, we made a brief study of the conclusions in the first inquiry in the light of an expressive political phenomenon of the epoch, the First World War, trying to present its interpretation in light of the economic e social theory of marxism, relating with the problematic of capitalist crisis. In conclusion, our intention was to: a) to systematize an interpretation of crisis in Marx and b) to demonstrate its theoretical continuity in tweentieth century marxism in light of a historical event, the First World War, contributing with the studies over this theme, offering a reading which allows a penetrating comprehension of the relation between The Capital and further studies / Mestrado / Sociologia / Mestre em Sociologia

It is necessary put aside the idea that infinite economic development is the solution to terminate inequalities that exist in the world. Should consider a new model of society, which look for specify in the reality the value of justice, the hand of principles of equality and fraternity, where man is in a world of cooperation with others. / Es necesario dejar de lado la idea de que el desarrollo económico infinito es la solución para dar fin a las desigualdades existentes en el mundo. Debe plantearse un nuevo modelo de sociedad, el cual busque concretar en la realidad el valor de la justicia, de la mano de los principios de igualdad y fraternidad, donde el hombre se encuentre en un mundo de cooperación con los demás.

More than ten years after the largest economic crisis, which stroke the European Union in 2008 and thoroughly tested its readiness and ability to act, Europe was hit by a global pandemic of COVID-19. Because of this crisis, the European Union and its institutions faced a number of challenges, stemming from unprecedented measures imposed to tackle it. In contrast with the economic crisis, it was not only the European industrial and financial sectors but also more segments, essential to the functioning of the European Union itself, which were affected by the recent crisis. The aim of this thesis is to point out the differences of impacts of the two crisis and to find out the role played by the European Commission during the process of dealing with them.
