The diploma thesis deals with the investment loan for the business entities and the macroeconomic indicators. The theoretical part provides an overview of the credit process of the investment loan for business entities. The theoretical part focuses on the process of granting the loan, loan contracts and subsequent monitoring of the credit relationship. In the thesis are included the basic characteristics of the most used hedging instrument and the process of assessing the creditworthiness of an applicant. The empirical part of the diploma thesis uses the method of descriptive statistic for analysis examined variables. In the empirical part of the diploma thesis is included the analyse of the dependence between the volume of investment loans and the macroeconomic indicators.

This diploma thesis discusses how bank specific determinants and macroeconomic determinants influence non-performing loans in the banks of the G12 and in the Czech Republic in 2000 - 2013, i.e. before and after the financial crisis. The empirical analysis works with a regression model of fixed-effects panel data and uses a sample of 11,386 banks from the Bankscope database. The final results are used to establish recommendations for economic policy makers. The results have shown that non-performing loans for larger and more profitable banks are less susceptible to changes in determinants.

SKYVOVÁ, BARBORA. Consequences of Economic Crisis on autonomous communities and cities in Spain. Diploma thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2017. The diploma thesis focuses on impacts of the economic crisis (2008-2009) on seventeen autonomous communities and two autonomous cities of Spain. beta-convergence analysis and cluster analysis are applied to identify convergence or divergence process among Spanish regions within periods 2000-2007 and 2008-2015. Differences among regions are found out and economic situation is defined by macroeconomic indicators.

The thesis aims to identify and assess factors determining quality of loan portfolio in Visegrad Four in the period of 1998-2014. Literature review helped to identify factors which could have had an impact on loan quality in selected countries. The level of non-performing loans could be influenced by both macroeconomic determinants: GDP growth, unemployment rate, inflation rate, nominal effective exchange rate, and bank specific factors: cost efficiency and capital adequacy. Econometric analysis tests these factors and as statistically significant determinants having impact on quality of loan portfolios identifies mainly macroeconomics determinants (GDP growth, unemployment rate, nominal effective exchange rate) and capital adequacy.

Cibulka, O. Factors influencing the amount of sales in accommodation and catering facilities in the Czech Republic. Diploma thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2019. The thesis deals with the quantification of factors affecting the amount of sales in the area of accommodation, catering and hospitality in the Czech Republic. In addition to assessing the significance of these factors, the development of sales in the observed area is examined. To do this, a model is drawn up that describes the behaviour of sales of the given facilities, and on the basis of which the prediction of values for the next 5 quarters is then made. Subsequently, the impact of the financial crisis on the size of sales in the observed area is clarified. Finally, according to the findings, appropriate recommendations for improving the quality of provided services in the observed area are created.

The diploma thesis investigates the effect of oil price fluctuations on selected macroeconomic indicators for a set of four oil-producing countries. It provides a general overview of the development in oil prices as well as the oil production and presents a more thorough analysis of the oil production, consumption and trade in the selected countries. It utilizes the methods of Vector Autoregression, Granger causality and Impulse response via the econometric software Gretl in the analysis of the effects and compares the current literature with quantitative results.

The presented study describes commercial real estate markets with focus on office sector. We identify the capitalization rate (investment yield) as one of the fundamental elements in the commercial property valuation. Based on historical office investment yield observations and various econometric models we predict the office capitalization rate development in the Czech Republic. We use data of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden to identify common yield trend especially with respect to their real estate crises in 1990s that embody features similar to the real estate crisis in 2008-2010. As explanatory variables for the econometric models (ARIMA, OLS, VAR) we use financial and macroeconomic variables. We use the OLS models to identify the optimal set of explanatory variables, to be applied in VAR models. On dataset of the comparable countries we compare the goodness of fit of the VAR and ARIMA models. The best variants are then used for the prediction of the Czech office yield. Lastly, we improve our results by implementing exogenous forecasts of macroeconomic variables used in the models. Majority of our predictions forecast a slow decrease of the capitalization rate in next two years (2010-2012) in the magnitude of 0.25% - 1% (to 6.25%-6%).

Stress testing is a macro-prudential analytical method of assessing the financial system's resilience to adverse events. This thesis describes the methodology of the stress tests and illustrates the stress testing for credit and market risks on the real bank-by-bank data in the two Balkan countries: Croatia and Serbia. Credit risk is captured by the macroeconomic credit risk models that estimate the default rates of the corporate and the household sectors. Setting-up the framework for the countries that were not much covered in former studies and that face the limited availability of data has been the main challenge of the thesis. The outcome can help to reveal possible risks to financial stability. The methods described in the thesis can be further developed and applied to the emerging markets that suffer from the similar data limitations. JEL Classification: E37, G21, G28 Keywords: banking, credit risk, default rate, macro stress testing, market risk

This thesis examined an ability of the scoreboard indicators created by the European Commission to capture macroeconomic imbalances expressed as the changes of GDP. We conducted an empirical analysis for panel data of 27 EU countries in the 1997-2011 period. We adopted three different dynamic panel data models based on the three estimators: the Arrelano- Bond, the Arrelano-Bover and the corrected LSDV estimator. Our results suggest that despite some bad characteristics of our dataset we can conclude that some of the indicators such as 3- year average of current account balance or percentage change in export market shares seem to be inadequate for measuring the imbalances. Moreover, the indicators were proved not to be able to predict an occurrence of imbalances.

This thesis is dedicated to the impact of the economic crisis in the transport sector in the Czech Republic, focusing on the road transport sector. This thesis is presented with the brief overview about the origin of the economic crises, what are its causes, impacts and possible prevention, which can prevent this situation. The theoretical part also describes not only the transport sector as whole, its development and current status but also gives further information about road transport. The practical part of this thesis is focused on analyzing macroeconomic indicators in the Czech Republic and determination if their development affected some indicators in the road transportation. The main result of this thesis will be interpreted on the basis of selected statistical methods. The second aim of this thesis is to analyze the impacts of the crisis on the selected company, which conducts in the road transport and propose to this company the options which would allow the impact of the economic crisis on its business activities.
