Předběžná náplň práce

Tato práce se zabývá finanční krizí v ekonomikách s externími imbalancemi, které zaznamenaly vysoký nárůst zahraničního soukromého dluhu a tak se liší od běžně chápaných příčin krize, zejména pak plýtvání veřejnými prostředky (jako tomu bylo například u Řecka). Jedná se o komparativní analýzu Irska a Španělska, hlavních dvou zemí EU postižených těmito nerovnováhami. Práce se zodpovídá otázku, proč došlo k velmi kvalitnímu irskému ozdravení a naopak ve španělském případě nikoliv, a zda může být tedy Irsko chápáno za univerzální model pro boj s budoucími krizemi. Pro zodpovězení otázky je nastíněn průběh krize, vzestup hypotečních bublin i strukturální rozdíly ekonomik, aby mohly být nakonec představena protikrizová opatření.

Předběžná náplň práce v anglickém jazyce

The aim of this thesis is to focus on financial crisis in economies with external imbalances, which experienced sharp increases in foreign private debt and which differentiated them from the generally accepted causes, i.e. public finance profligacy (as was the case in Greece for example). It is a comparative analysis of Ireland and Spain, two countries primarily affected by these imbalances. The thesis is intended to answer the question why Ireland experienced a successful recovery while Spain did not, and if it can therefore be considered a universal model for crisis management in the future. To answer the question, the thesis presents the impacts of the crisis, emergence of real estate bubbles and also structural differences of the two economies, to finally present the undertaken austerity measures.
