This diploma thesis focuses on importance of economic sentiment indicator and its predictional power for real macroeconomic indicators. The aim of the the-sis is to prove that economic indicator can predict future development of aggregate demand. In the empirical part will be discussed the impact of economic sentiment indicator on particular real macroeconomic indicators for V4 countries. To prove the causality will be used Granger exogeneity test. As a result of the thesis, there will be recommendation for company's man-agement created. The recommendation will be used for creation stocks and sources plans.

This thesis aims to set assessment the economic competitiveness of Russian Federation. In context of this topic to determine the values of basic macroeconomic indicators and use them to explore the current economic situation in the country. The competitiveness will be evaluated based on the methodology of the World Economic Forum and its Global Competitiveness Index. According to this index the results of Russian Federation and selected world economies will be compared. Subsequently, the analysis of selected key factors influencing the size of gross domestic product and their impact on the performance of the Russian economy. For this purpose will be used statistical methods, regression and correlation analysis. Finally will be clarified hypotheses of this thesis and set out a comprehensive assessment of the Russian economy, with possible recommendations on how to better use the potential of the country.

The purpose of this Master’s Thesis is to evaluate the economies of selected ECOWAS members – Ghana and Nigeria – to find out how some of their economic indicators perform when shocks such as monetary, supply, demand and external shocks are applied. This will enable us to gauge their policy responses to a shock such as occurred during the Global Financial Crisis. The work is divided into two parts, namely the theoretical aspect and the quantitative aspect. The theoretical aspect looks at other authors who have discussed similar issues and the quantitative portion deals with econometric models that analysed data pulled from the economic indicators of both countries. The results are then discussed and a conclusion is arrived at.

The aim of this study is identification of the macroeconomic indicators, which have an influence on the Czech export to the states of the European Union, namely to Slovakia, Germany and Poland in the years 1999-2013. The partial aim is confirmation or rejection of the fact, that the economic growth in these states has an influence on the Czech export. The analysis is made due to multiple regression models for every state. This study is also focused on the economic crisis in the years 2008-2009 and the influence on the Czech export. Recommendations and suggestions are mentioned in the end of this study.

This thesis examines the effect of population ageing on macroeconomic aggregates. The author´s objective is to verify, whether there exists any relationship of the population ageing factors and the GDP growth rate, social expenditures growth rate and the consumption growth rate. Econometric models are based on theoretical specifications of Faruqee´s life-cycle model and Prettner´s R&D model with overlapping generations. The degree of economic development is also taken into account. Furthermore, the author modified the R&D model by incorporation of the poverty indicator and its application on available datasets. The research is focused on five European countries in 1995 - 2013. The Ordinary Least Squares method is used to gain estimated results in regression analyses. The author managed to prove an existing relationship between the old age dependency ratio and the social expenditures in all countries except Switzerland. The impact of the population ageing factor on the consumption growth rate turned out to be significant in all of those countries. Substantial fluctuations are shown only in Bulgaria and in the Czech Republic. The GDP growth rate seems to be influenced by ageing factor in the Czech Republic and in the Ukraine alone. The research has also shown that developing countries respond more dramatically to changes in the population structure distribution, while the poverty indicator plays an important role only in the Ukraine.
