| Abstrakt: | The thesis introduces the macro-finance model of the Czech economy by setting the VAR model, which includes components representing the yield curve estimated within the Nelson-Siegel framework. The thesis contributes to the current stream of research by including both the policy interest rate and the interbank interest rate as endogeneous variables in the VAR model, which allows for differentiation between monetary policy shocks and shocks to interbank rates. The above-mentioned model then serves as a framework for analyzing interactions between financial and macroeconomic variables in the period from 2000 to 2015. The thesis pays special attention to the period 2008-2013 and shows that the introduction of the FX commitment in November 2013 had a significant positive effect on GDP and inflation within 12 months after the introduction of the FX commitment. The thesis concludes that exchange rate movements affected almost uniformly short-term and long-term interest rates, and thus the yield curve slope stayed largely unaffected by exchange rate movements. |
