Vliv deflace na hospodářský růst

Abstract

This thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part describes the rise of deflation from the view of different economic schools, its types, consequences, and after that sums up its influence on consumers and on economic growth. The practical part investigates the behaviour of consumers in the environment of falling prices by means of a quantitative questionnaire survey. It came to light that a slight deflation of the order of units of per cent was not harmful to the economic growth.
