This master鈥檚 thesis examines the phenomenon of money laundering and its consequences in European Union countries. The research problem focuses on how the effects of money laundering manifest differently across EU member states. This study aims to assess the consequences of money laundering in EU countries and to identify the states most affected, as measured by selected indicators. The theoretical part reviews the concept of money laundering, its objectives, assumptions, applied methods and schemes, analyses the consequences of money laundering and their impact on macroeconomic indicators, and examines the prevention system and its evaluation. The empirical part applies the multi-criteria CRITIC and COPRAS methods. The CRITIC method determines the weights of the selected indicators, i.e., how much each indicator contributes to the overall assessment of the countries鈥 vulnerabilities. In contrast, the COPRAS method evaluates the position of countries by integrating both the indicator weights and the actual indicator values, ranking the countries from the most to the least affected in terms of money laundering consequences. Additionally, cluster and correlation analysis are applied to reveal similarities between countries based on the selected indicators and to examine the relationships between the money laundering index and selected macroeconomic factors.

Thesis abstract (EN)
This master鈥檚 thesis examines the trends of financial fraud and its impact on the economy in the context of a rapidly evolving digital environment and technological advancement. The relevance of the research is driven by the continuous growth of financial fraud, increasing losses incurred by individuals and businesses, and the declining public trust in the financial system. The study highlights that modern technologies, particularly artificial intelligence solutions, enable the emergence of more sophisticated and personalized fraud schemes, while low financial literacy and insufficient vigilance increase consumer vulnerability. The object of the research is the consequences of financial fraud. The aim of the study is to determine the impact of different types of financial fraud on the economy and to evaluate the effectiveness of applied preventive measures. To achieve this aim, the thesis systematizes financial fraud types, analyses their dynamics in Lithuania, ranks fraud types using CRITIC, COPRAS, and AHP methods, and conducts an expert evaluation. The research employs scientific literature analysis, statistical data systematization, and multi鈥慶riteria assessment methods. The CRITIC method is used to determine the weights of statistical criteria, while COPRAS and AHP methods are applied to rank financial fraud types based on their economic impact. Expert evaluation enables the identification of the most harmful fraud types, the nature of the damage they cause, and the most effective preventive measures. The results reveal the growing scale of financial fraud, highlight the fraud types causing the greatest economic harm, and assess the effectiveness of prevention measures. The findings can be applied in further research examining not only financial but also reputational, psychological, and institutional resource-related damage, as well as in evaluating the effectiveness of preventive strategies.

Thesis abstract (EN)
This master鈥檚 thesis examines the impact of macroeconomic indicators on stock market index prices by comparing the financial markets of the United States and Japan. The relevance of the study is driven by the increasing sensitivity of financial markets to macroeconomic developments, particularly after the 2020 pandemic, when monetary policy decisions and heightened economic uncertainty significantly influenced investor behavior and global capital flows. The aim of the thesis is to assess how key macroeconomic indicators affect stock index prices under different economic and monetary conditions. The object of the research is the stock markets of the United States and Japan, represented by the S&P 500 and Nikkei 225 indices, respectively. The analysis focuses on five main macroeconomic indicators: inflation, interest rates, unemployment rate, gross domestic product (GDP) growth, and the yield on 10-year government bonds. The study applies statistical methods, including correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis, which allow for the evaluation of both individual effects and the combined influence of macroeconomic variables on stock index dynamics over the period 2015鈥2024. The empirical results indicate that the impact of macroeconomic indicators on stock markets is not uniform across countries. In the U.S. market, interest rates and inflation expectations play a more prominent role, whereas in Japan the yield on long-term government bonds emerges as a statistically significant factor, interpreted by investors as a signal of economic normalization. The findings suggest that the effect of identical macroeconomic indicators on stock prices depends on a country鈥檚 economic structure, monetary policy regime, and investor expectations. The results of this thesis may be valuable for investors, financial analysts, and economic policymakers seeking to better understand the transmission mechanisms of macroeconomic factors in financial markets.

This master鈥檚 thesis analyses the impact of digital technologies on business development in payment and trade matching processes under the conditions of the digital economy. The theoretical part examines the concept of the digital economy, the role of digital technologies in business development, the transformation of payment systems, and the importance of trade matching within financial infrastructure processes. The empirical part develops a methodological framework based on correlation analysis, multiple regression, and time-series methods, using official statistical data on digital technology development, payment volumes, and trade matching indicators. The results show that digital technologies positively contribute to business development; however, their impact differs across processes and often exhibits a time-lag effect. The findings indicate that the digital economy creates favorable conditions for business development only when digital technologies are consistently integrated into payment and post-trade processes.

The bachelor鈥檚 thesis examines the factors affecting income inequality in Lithuania. The main causes and consequences of income inequality are discussed. A methodology for examining the factors affecting income inequality is developed. The empirical part analyses Lithuanian statistical data for the period of 2005鈥2025. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis are applied in the study. It was found that four indicators were statistically significant in the final model: the share of employed persons at risk of poverty, the long-term unemployment rate, tax revenue and final consumption expenditure. Based on the research results, recommendations for practical application are provided. Structure: introduction, theoretical aspects of the formation of income inequality, research methodology of the factors affecting income inequality, empirical assessment of the factors affecting income inequality in Lithuania, conclusions, recommendations and suggestions, list of references. Thesis consists of: 55 p. text without appendixes, 4 pictures, 10 tables, 54 bibliographical entries. Appendix included.

The aim of the Master鈥檚 thesis is to theoretically substantiate and empirically assess the relationships and changes between household consumption expenditure and income inequality in the European Union. The first part of the thesis presents the theoretical aspects of household consumption expenditure, income, and their inequality within the framework of economic theories, highlighting the structure of expenditures, income diversity, as well as the causes and consequences of inequality. The second part develops the research model and substantiates the methodology for assessing household consumption expenditure and income inequality and their interdependence across countries. The third part presents an empirical analysis of household consumption expenditure and income inequality in the European Union and in individual country clusters, comparing differences and correlations of indicators across countries and the region. Based on the empirical research, the conclusions and recommendations of the thesis are provided. The thesis consists of six parts: introduction, theoretical part, methodological part, practical part, conclusions and recommendations, and references. The volume of the thesis is 107 pages of text excluding appendices, including 16 figures, 18 tables, and 108 bibliographic sources. Two appendices are included separately.
