This thesis deals with the financial crisis and specifically analyze the impact on the Czech economy. The work is divided into two parts - theoretical part and self analysis. Each part is divided further into two parts. The first part deals with the theory of macroeconomic indicators that describe the performance of the national economy. Described here is the gross domestic product, inflation, employment and unemployment, further indebtedness, foreign trade and balance of payments. The second part deals with the theory of the business cycle, its different types and phases. The end of the theoretical part is devoted to the definition of the word crisis, its historical development and, ultimately, the notion of financial crisis. Own part of the thesis is dedicated to the financial crisis that hit the world in 2008. The first half own work is concerned with the emergence of the crisis in the United States and its gradual relocation to Europe The second part is devoted to the economy of the Czech Republic. Individual performance indicators of the national economy are analyzed in detail and to better illustrate the use of graphs and tables.

The aim is to evaluate the effect of path dependence on economic growth in transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe.The theoretical part provides a survey focused on formal and informal institutions, path dependence and the relationship between institutional framework of economies and economic performance. The second part contains socio-economic characteristics of CEE economies which include formal institutions and cross-country analysis with the inclusion of institutional variables conceptualizing informal institutions. The final part evaluates the influence of path dependence in countries of CEE.

This diploma thesis summarizes the issue of the developmnet and the transformation of the Korean economy. It focuses on the development of the economy since the Japanese occupation untill now.

My paper tries to cover as many fields of internationalization as possible. It is a look at the very actual situation after the financial crisis but also comes with some predictions about the close future. Public and worldwide organizations such as WTO are a critical point in my analysis, as well as country penetration strategies. My objective was to determine where globalization has leaded us, in which direction and more importantly in which countries. Also, it is explained how complex can be a multinational in different countries and the important aspects of control in between subsidiaries. Not to be forgotten, the most recent kinds of investments and revamped international strategies

This dissertation deals with the non-performing loans of companies that are resolved within insolvency proceedings, with a focus on reorganization. The work compares insolvency systems of various developed markets with those of emerging/transition economies. The practical part is oriented toward domestic insolvency issues in the Czech market based on a survey structured as a questionnaire that was responded to by top insolvency professionals, bankers and lawyers. The survey was followed-up and complemented by structured interviews with selected respondents. The work also entails practical observations arising from the author´s recent working experience with debt-recovery both in the Czech market and abroad. The dissertation seeks answers regarding whether reorganization provides banking creditors with added-value and the transferability of western approaches to reorganization in the context of the environment of transition economies. A clear answer to this complex question is not found and based on his research the author remains skeptical as to the frequent and often over optimistic opinions provided in support of the general benefit of reorganizations.

This article applies the total investment model and 12-year (2008-2019) panel data of 11 countries in Central and Eastern Europe to examine the crowding-in or crowding- out effect of FDI on domestic investment. Moreover, in the empirical research, this article also tests the specific impact of the formation of FDI domestic capital in different economies and different periods in Central and Eastern Europe. Our research results show that FDI has no obvious crowding-in or crowding-out effect on the domestic investment of the total sample in the long term. In addition, FDI has a long-term crowding-out impact on domestic investment in underdeveloped economies and advanced economies in 11 countries. However, in the short term (2008-2012), FDI has a substantial and apparent crowding-in effect on domestic investment in underdeveloped economies. Furthermore, in the latter stage of the research period (2013-2019), FDI has no obvious crowding-in or crowding-out effect on domestic investment in the two different economies. This article also deeply analyzes the causes of the crowding-in or crowding-out effect of FDI and puts forward reasonable policy recommendations. Keywords: FDI, Crowding in, Domestic investment, underdeveloped economies.

This thesis investigates the impact of social determinants on life expectancy in 16 transition economies from 1995 to 2012 by a panel data regression analysis. The regression result suggests that, air quality, coverage for tertiary education, spending in health care have statistically positive associations with life expectancy. To be specific, 1 microgram per cubic meter reduction in PM 2.5 air pollution(mean annual exposure) is associated with a gain of 2.16 months of life expectancy at birth. 100 dollars increase in health expenditure per capita is associated with a gain of 2.4 months of life expectancy at birth. 10% points increase in the gross enrolment ratio for tertiary school is associated with a gain of 3.6 months of life expectancy. But the proxy variable of democracy(Unified Democracy Sores), Economic Freedom and out-of-pocket health expenditure are not significant factors of life expectancy.

The dissertation thesis deals with economic consequences of established institutional environment in the post-socialist economies. The institutional environment is associated with political arrangement. The main aim was to investigate whether level of political environment affects economic performance in the post-socialist economies. The level of political arrangement is expressed by two groups of indicators. Firstly, a standard expression using the three indicators is employed (Freedom in World, Polity2, Liberal Democracy Index of the V-Dem Project). Secondly, the level is associated with the individual political regimes (democratic and authoritarian regimes; liberal democracies and non-liberal regimes). Based on received results of linear regression analysis, it can be argued that the higher level of political institution supports economic performance. Simultaneously the individual analyses indicate liberal democracies achieve the highest economic performance within the individual political regimes whereas democracies have similar economic outcomes to authoritarian regimes. The first partial aim was to verify opposite relation, it means whether factors of economic performance representing the Modernization theory have affected formation of political regimes in the post-socialist area. Probit regression analysis was used for attainment of the partial aim. The analysis identified the individual factors of the Modernization theory (level of economic development and schooling) have had impact on establishment of liberal democracies. According to the results of probit analysis the other two theories explaining establishment of political institutions were discussed, namely the Early Developed Institutions and the Natural Resources Curse. In the last part, the second partial aim was achieved by testing reciprocal causal link between level of political system and economic performance with using the test of Granger causality. The results indicate there is not reciprocal causal link in Granger approach between the observed variables. Simultaneously the reciprocal causal relation occurs only within liberal democracies.
