The aim of this thesis is the comparison of the accounting systems in the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany with a focus on financial assets from the investor's perspective. Although both countries being members of the European Union successfully implemented the European Directive no. 2013/34/EU, we can hardly address comparability financial reporting in financial assets. Firstly, the thesis defines the generally accepted accounting principles and legal regulation of accounting procedure on which the accounting system of examined countries are based. Afterwards, each balance sheet position of financial assets will be described. The most important issue of this thesis is the valuation of financial assets, which differs across accounting systems. The practical part contains an analysis of the financial statements of significant companies from both countries, focusing on the balance sheet position and valuation methods. The thesis intent to demonstrate the diametrical differences in the valuation of financial assets, even though they are consistent with the EU legislation.

Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) has been the central assumption of financial modelling in the previous decades. At its core, it is a statement about the efficient incorporation of available information in the prices of assets, rendering each price a 'true' representation of the asset's intrinsic value. The notion of informationally efficient financial markets has been, since its formulation, entrenched in the very core of our understanding of how asset pricing works, yet, with ever so increasing frequency, when subjected to empirical scrutiny, it fails to prove its explanatory and predictive prowess. New academic strands emerged have emerged as a result, attempting to explain those empirical short-comings, with rather mixed results. The new models and theories often either explain a singular anomaly, rather than pro- viding a generalized and consistent theoretical framework, or are exclusive with the general state of financial markets, which tends to be efficient and rational. This thesis shall explore the relationship of information and financial mar- kets, taking into account developments that have occurred since the inception of the EMH. Subsequently it will present a new theoretical model for asset pric- ing and ipso facto the efficiency of financial markets, based on meta-analysis of information, along...

The graduation thesis deals with financial assets in commercial insurance companies in the Czech Republic. The theisis defines financial assets in commercial insurance companies in the Czech Republic, describes financial assets as a part of financial invesments and defines specific reporting, initial valuation and appreciation of the balance sheet day. Czech legal regulations are compared with International Financial Reporting Standards regulations. The graduation thesis decsribes and critically assesses the valuation of financial assets on the balance sheet day in the commercial insurance companies in the Czech Republic.

Studien har en deduktiv ansats och undersöker kvantitativ syftet av att förklara effekten med implementeringen av IFRS 13 på värderingsförändringen av förvaltningsfastigheter. Vidare är ändamålet att bidra med ytterligare kunskap till effekten av IFRS 13:s implementering för förvaltningsfastigheter. För att svara på syftet har tre hypoteser formulerats som testas genom Wilcoxons teckenrangtest och Mann-Whitney testet. Testerna analyseras följaktligen med två utvalda huvudteorier, den institutionella teorin och legitimitetsteorin, vilka appliceras och diskuteras i studien.     Resultatet av studien visar att det inte går att påvisa en signifikant skillnad i värderingsförändringen av förvaltningsfastigheter och IFRS 13, för och mellan fastighetsbolag på Large Cap och Mid Cap. Samt att det inte går att påvisa någon signifikant skillnad i värderingsförändringen efter implementeringen av IFRS 13, mellan en intern och extern värdering. Studien uppvisar varierande resultat i koppling till andra länder och varierar noterbart från tidigare studier, framför allt i den slutliga hypotesen som behandlar effekten av IFRS 13 på en extern och intern värdering.

This Master Thesis in General Management aims on defining the relationship between a country's degree of development and household asset management in the European Union. Both of the variables are defined by relevant sub-variables where the relationships are being observed. There were used datasets gathered by respected European Statistical Agency Eurostat for 2019. Master Thesis focuses on the European Union area and it aims at defining the crucial relationships between the variables in order to draw the conclusions that would help in pursuing the degree of development in different countries. In the Master Thesis, we were using quantitative research reflecting on the statistically expressed relationships using the correlation pattern. There were used 29 numbers for each of the variables representing the total number of European Union members in 2019 (28) plus the European Union average. There were found statistically significant relationships based on which we were able to define a proper generalization together with the causation pattern for the European Union countries and households.

This study examines whether macroeconomic variables, such as household disposableincome, financial assets and total debt affect household consumption by applying Panel dataon The fixed effects model. The data included 13 European OECD countries that are membersof EMU between the years 2009-2019. The test showed that disposable income is the onlyvariable with statistically significant effect on household consumption. The life cyclehypothesis as well as The permanent income hypothesis, states that individuals strive forsmooth consumption by distributing their resources relatively evenly. That way they are ableto maintain a certain standard of living. According to The Ricardian equivalence theorem,neither changes in saving nor indebtedness increase private consumption, if the initial wealthremains unchanged. These theories are included in the theoretical reference which, togetherwith previous studies, constitutes the starting point for this paper.

A teoria econômica aponta uma inter-relação entre os resultados deste mercado e a estrutura macroeconômica. Através da metodologia de Rigobon e Sack (2003), o presente estudo avalia o impacto contemporâneo do mercado acionário sobre a taxa Selic de juros. A contribuição deste trabalho é a de encontrar indícios de que um choque não esperado que cause 1% de valorização no retorno do mercado acionário provoque uma queda de 0,019% na taxa Selic de juros. Os resultados parecem ser de pequena escala, quando comparados com os valores obtidos em outros países. / The Brazilian stock market has shown consistent growth over the last few years. Economic theory points to an interrelationship between the results of this market and the macroeconomic framework in previous studies. Through the methodology presented by Rigobon and Sack (2003), this study assesses the contemporary impact of the stock market on the Selic interest rate. The contribution of this work is to find evidence that an unexpected shock causes of 1% appreciation in the stock market return causes a decrease of 0.019% in the Selic interest rate. The results appear to be not significant when they are compared to results from other countries.

Au cours de ces dernières années, les banques centrales principales ont adopté de nouvelles politiques monétaires considérées comme étant des politiques non conventionnelles. Ces politiques ont pour objectif de relancer la croissance économique et de maîtriser l’inflation par l’intermédiaire du marché obligataire. Dans ce travail de recherche, nous étudions l’impact de ces nouvelles pratiques monétaires sur les marchés financiers. Plus précisément, nous essayons d’explorer l’évolution du marché boursier face à la mise en œuvre de l’assouplissement quantitatif et de détecter les canaux de transmission de cette stratégie aux cours boursiers. / During the last few years, major central banks have adopted new monetary policies that were considered unconventional policies. These new measures aim to boost economic growth and control inflation through the bond market. In this research the main objective is to study the impact of these new monetary practices on the financial markets. More specifically, this dissertation tries to explore the stock market's evolution in the face of the implementation of quantitative easing and to detect the transmission channels of this strategy to stock prices.
