Crisis development in some banking systems has been associated with large-scale aid programs, which has been heavily involved with the central bank's impact on the very rapid growth of their balance sheets. The banking system in the Czech Republic in the period 2005-2015 has not undergone any crisis. Significant changes in the balance of the Czech National Bank were associated with foreign exchange interventions against the Czech crown. High liquidity determines almost zero demand of banks for loans from the central bank. The Czech National Bank is in the "debtor" position in relation to banks. Central banks in the European Monetary Union and the United...

Municipalities in the Slovakia as part of public sector have to finance their needs in accord of legally set municipal budgeting principles. The general basic rule mentions that current needs have to be financed from current budget. Capital or investment expenditure can be financed by returnable resources. Using returnable finance resources induces the indebtedness. Although the state level of government is not responsible for the indebtedness incurred on municipal level, usually limits the municipal indebtedness by law and monitors the total municipal debt and debt service. The paper deals with municipal indebtedness in the SR, where total municipal...

Deflace, odklad spotřeby a hospodářské krize: rétorika centrálních bank vs. ekonomická literatura
Deflation and Economic Crisis: Central Banks' Rhetoric vs. Economic Literature
Lukáš Kovanda, Martin Komrska
Politická ekonomie 2017, 65(3):351-369 | DOI: 10.18267/j.polek.1148
The aim of this paper is to show that the current anti-deflationary rhetoric of central banks lacks adequate support from the economic literature. Based on pure theory, there might be both positive and negative effects of deflation on economic development. The historical record is, if anything, also ambiguous. As recent literature reveals, a substantial number of deflationary periods were accompanied by robust economic growth. The two frequently mentioned examples of dismal deflationary periods - the Great Depression in the United States and the lost decades in Japan - seem to be exceptions. Taking into account the arguments presented in this paper,...
