This work analyzes an interrelationship between stock indices S&P 500, FTSE 100, DAX, HSI, Nikkei, BSI and PX in a time period from September 2004 till March 2010. Such an interrelationship has already been examined and a dominating position of American indices has been found. This influence was stronger during a financial crisis. Because the examined time period covers both financial crisis and the period before, the work studies their interrelationship in the whole period and at the end in the time period before financial crisis. The influence of one stock index on the other can be cause by several factors: (i) dominance of influencing stock index, (ii) efficient market and (iii) financial crisis. As the reaction of stock index is evoked from new information, the intention of this work is to take into account nonsychronous trading of stocks exchanges. Therefore I explored those exchange stocks closing earlier than the others start in two ways by respecting the time lag and by non-respecting the time lag. The interrelationship between the indices was modeled with help of VAR models and proved by Granger causality test.

The main purpose of my final thesis is to present the development, function and real impact of moral hazard on the process of creating mergers and acquisitions (mainly in the banking sector) in the context of the financial crisis. I seek to analyse the acquisition process and the factors that affect it. Consequently, I focused on the synthesis of these factors, with emphasis on the role of moral hazard, which on the one hand acts as one of the potential culprits of the failure of markets, but on the other hand as the "driving force" for encouraging the creation of mergers and acquisitions in a financial crisis.
