The diploma thesis deals with the independence of monetary policy of the Czech National Bank on the monetary policy of the European Central Bank. The content of thesis is to allocate and subsequently analyze zones in which foreign monetary policy can influence and restrict realization of monetary policy in small open economy. The aim of thesis is to assess extent of dependency of decision making process of monetary policy CNB on monetary policy ECB. Conclusion and recommendations are formulated based on the results obtained of qualitative and quantitative analysis and comparison of particular monetary indicators.

This diploma thesis deals with the real equilibrium exchange rate of the Czech Koruna to Euro which represents an important role in modern macroeconomics. To this purpose many methods are used and the most advanced work with the estimation on the principle of using macroeconomic fundamentals. The partial aim of this thesis is estimation the real equilibrium exchange rate of the Czech koruna and Euro currency by using the purchasing power parity theory and econometric analyses of BEER and PEER models. Based on the resuls of these estimations will be fulfil the main aim of this thesis - defining the recommendations for the national economic policies' decisions.

The main objective of this diploma thesis is to provide a comprehensive overview of the foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in the Czech Republic from the perspective of its determinants. The first part presents the general definitions of FDI and its possible positive and negative impacts on the host country. Furthermore, the thesis deals with the determinants defining the attractiveness of the country for foreign investors. The following part contains a brief description of global investment trends and the transformation of the Czech economy. Based on the theoretical background, the second part of the thesis is built up. The second part focuses on analysis of FDI inflows in the Czech Republic based on the country of origin of the investor and the sector. Furthermore, the thesis deals with key attractiveness factors influencing Czech foreign direct investment and the development of selected macroeconomic indicators. Moreover, the econometric model examines which factors affect FDI inflows into the country. In the final conclusion, the results of the diploma thesis are presented.

I directed my project at strategic development in textile industry. I worked the project at an example of the company Prima Moda, s. r. o., which has headquarters in Cesky Krumlov. The textile industry can not compete with other branches. Although nowadays the textile industry has automated production already, people have to work by hands. There are high wage cost. It caused, that in developed states the companies canceled production and they transferred it to Eastern Europe.

The aim of this thesis is decisive influence specification in motivation and stimulation of human resources for lifelong learning. The survey was realized in three construction companies. Therefore the aim was also detection of individual companies´ approach to this theme. Through this survey it standed to reason also various stratification of replies in dependance of the reached educational attainment of asked persons. In the first part of this thesis there is introduced the general motivation and stimulation information. In methodology there is described questionnaire method the survey was carried out. The detected results are transfered into charts and graphs. Every reply is followed by results evaluation and discussion. The best employee motivation was higher income. Persons with lower education were interested in further education less than others. And the fact is that all three companies should improve their approach to employees education. People have the first priority in company. And if the manpower is not used properly, the company growth and competitive advantage slows.

Theme of this thesis is to determine the current state of canoeing courses organized by secondary schools in the Central region. Thesis is focused on the detailed arrangements of courses, their organization and other information associated with this. The author also tries form the information and legislative facts to determine how it should ideally look like such a course.

The aim of this thesis is to estimate bilateral equilibrium exchange rate of the Czech koruna relative to Euro and to determine if the Czech currency is undervalued or overvalued relative to the market equilibrium. We employ fundamental (FEER) and behavioral (BEER) equilibrium exchange rate models, which enables to measure the currency position relative to the market rate. To tackle the uncertainty of the implied equilibrium exchange rates that differ among alternative specifications of the models, we aggregate the estimates via principal components analysis. The perception on the market is that Czech koruna is undervalued, since the intervention regime imposed by the Czech National Bank in the 2013, was defending the exchange rate floor of 27 Czech korunas to Euro. Then, we extend conventional specifications of BEER models for variables representing exchange rate interventions and forward rates offered on the market because both can have protracted effects not only on spot rates but on adjustment towards long-term equilibrium as well. The original models with fundamental factors show equilibrium exchange rate near to 25 CZK/EUR. However, extended models with interventions show higher equilibrium exchange rate, near to 27 CZK/EUR. Thus, there is possibility of slow adjustment near to the...

The aim of this master thesis is to verify possibility to use Poisson distribution for predicting soccer matches. At first for analysis is applied the original model from English statisticians Mark J. Dixon and Stuart G. Coles from 1997. Thereafter the model is extended in the thesis. All models are based on the maximum likelihood method. Chosen league for deducing conclusions is the first English league - Premier League. The matches are played in the period from season 2004/2005 to half of season 2015/2016. For identification of models performance are used the most market odds from American bookmaker Pinnacle. In the theoretical part are described models and statistical methods that are used in the practical part. In the practical part are realized calculations. Counted performance of models is based on profit from market odds. In the period ex-post are calculated optimum model parameters that are used in the ex-ante period, where is calculated performance of the model. The thesis answers question: Are these models gaining from public database effective in modern age?

This diploma thesis looks from theoretical and practical point of view at the relation between the price of oil and exchange rates of developed countries importing this vital resource. First, the character of the dependence between terms of trade and exchange rates is analyzed, followed by a description and verification of models of relationship between the terms of trade and exchange rates. Subsequent text is focused on another models, which analyze directly the connection between oil prices and exchange rates. The thesis ends with a discussion on other possible connecting links in this relation.

The thesis is focused on exchange rate policy of the Czech Republic. Its goal is to analyze this policy in connection with reaching an external balance of the economy and also from the point of view of its role during transformation in the Czech Republic. The common European currency and its possible introduction in the Czech Republic is also an issue associated with the exchange rate policy. At the beginning, basic terms and related theoretical approaches are introduced and in the next part, balance of payments approaches are analyzed using selected examples. The following chapter deals with exchange rate policy transformation process in Czechoslovakia and then in the Czech Republic. The last part is aimed at European monetary integration and especially at potential Czech accession to the euro area.
