This thesis was aimed at investigating the volatility and relationship between inflation rates and exchange rates in Ghana. The data for the study was obtained from the World Data Bank, the Bank of Ghana, and the Ghana Statistical Service. It covered a period from 1980 to 2016. The main variables were the real exchange rate and inflation. The software used to run the data was Stata. The study employed Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model. The VAR model was chosen by reason that the data set were integrated but not cointegrated. The study result shows that in the short-run, a percentage change in the variability of the real exchange rate induces 54% change in the variability of inflation rate. Again, a percentage change in the variability of real exchange rate induces 90% change in the variability of real exchange rate.

DP se zabývá problematikou vstupu ČR do EMU z pohledu vnitřní i vnější rovnováhy. Celková analýza vychází z teorie optimálních měnových zón (OCA) a zaobírá se přitom hlavními determinantami vstupu do měnové unie - podmínkami, předpoklady, načasování a dále plynoucími výhodami/nevýhodami, hrozbami a příležitostmi s využívání společné měny. Významná část práce je rovněž věnována ekonomickým reformám.

Diplomová práce hodnotí dosavadní historii Evropské měnové unie. Zaměřuje se na rozbor mechanizmu ERM II. Hlavní část je aměřena na analýzu integrační pozice ČR vzhledem k přijetí Eura. Rozbor maastrichtských kritérií ukazuje nedostatky v několika oblastech, především u kritéria veřejných financí. Třetí část hodnotí scénáře přijetí Eura a aspekty spojené se vstupem do EMU. Datum přijetí Eura bylo posunuto na horizont kolem roku 2011, což vyžaduje minimální setrvání v mechanizmu ERM II po dobu dvou let. Poté by měly převážit pozitiva pro ČR vzhledem k užívání této měny.

Dizertační práce identifikuje a klasifikuje možná rizika měnové konvergence v procesu přistoupení k eurozóně u nových členských zemí Evropské unie, tj. včetně České republiky. Propojením výsledků komplexního rozboru institucionálního rámce Hospodářské a měnové unie a analýzy vývoje inflace a měnového kurzu u stávajících členů eurozóny v konvergenčním období identifikuje možné alternativy měnového přiblížení k euru. Závěry přispívají do diskuse o dilematech hospodářské politiky, které čekají nové členské země EU v dalších fázích integrace do evropských měnových struktur.

The presented diploma thesis deals with theory of equilibrium exchange rate. The aim of this work is to estimate the real equilibrium exchange rate for the Czech and Slovak Republic, using behavioral equilibrium exchange rate and permanent equilibrium exchange rate. The research is focused time series of macroeconomic variables in the period from 2000:Q1 to 2013:Q4. In conclusion, there is a comparison of the estimated equilibrium exchange rates with the real effective exchange rates.

This thesis, entitled "The significance of the exchange rate by the international investment decision", deals with the influence of the exchange rate on the rate of return and on the risk rate of foreign currency portfolio investments, applied on dollar share investments and dollar equity bonds from the point of view of a euro investor. In this thesis, the influence of exchange rate EUR/USD on the rate of return and the risk rate of specified investments is quantified and evaluated, for investment horizons of different lengths, which are always adapted to a specified type of financial assets. Concerning the share investments, the basic investment horizons are: 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 7 years, 10 years, 15 years, 20 years and 22 years. Concerning the equity bonds investments, the basic investment horizons are: 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, 7 years, 10 years and 12 years. The influence of the exchange rate in the speculative operations with lever tools, specifically in futures contracts. The methodology of this thesis deals with methods of quantification and evaluation of the influence of the exchange rate on the rate of return and the risk rate of foreign currency investments. These methods are afterwards applied in the realization of other sectorial empirical analyses of the influence of the exchange rate EUR/USD on the rate of return and on the risk rate of dollar investments in the specified types of financial assets within the frame of the specified investments horizons, always from the point of view of the euro investor. The specified hypotheses are evaluated on the basis of the achieved results from the empirical analyses and they are also compared with another theses with similar topics. The achieved results, with a view to retail investors, also enable to propose and consult the sub-measures, which can reduce the influence of the exchange rate on the rate of return and on the risk rate of their foreign currency investments. Another ways of solving these problems also emerge from this thesis and their results will have the possibility to be compared with the results of this thesis.

The aim of this thesis is to create a manual for e-learning system Moodle 2.1 and build four courses focused on the most widely used office programs today. The goal is also to test the hypothesis, which asserts that the e-learning is more effective than traditional leasing.

This thesis deals with the topic of Computer Algebraic Systems (i.e. CAS). Its first part analyses and compares the freely available CAS programs regarding both the propects of development and user suitability of this particular application for a secondary school or a university (i.e. bachelor) student. The second part of the thesis concerns with certain theoretical points that are subsequently followed by more practical ones where the main objective is to propose and to put into practice individual course components, including the preparation of a~specific working environment which the course would be implemented in. The third (i.e last) part describes and accounts for particular selections made during the outline and realization of the e-learning course.

The main objective of this diploma thesis is to introduce the concept of public virtual educational portal (VEP) as a centralized system giving an easy way to spread information and knowledge among users for their lifelong progress. The partial objectives of this thesis are: - introduction to the problems of virtual education, - analysis of e-learning courses supply, their providers and tools used in the field of education in the Czech republic, - overview of selected learning tools and their utilizing within design of the VEP, - design of a feasible way of realization and evaluation of the VEP plan. Contribution of this thesis is, on the first place, to get the reader introduced into the problems of virtual education. Subsequently the reader is given a helpful overview of brokers and providers of educational courses in the Czech republic. Another benefit of this work is to provide readers with the most exploited tools for educational purposes. The main part of this thesis presents an overall concept of the public virtual educational portal including its realization feasibilities and benefits for the users. Finally this thesis is focused on investment plan evaluation in which the benefits and risks of the VEP project realization are described.
