Holandská nemoc - případová studie Kanady a Ruské federace v období 2000 - 2022

Dutch disease is one of the economic transmission mechanisms of the natural resource curse theory. This theory suggests that countries with abundant mineral resources show a lower rate of economic growth over a longer period of time. The Dutch disease explains the economic aspect of this theory, the mechanism of which works as follows. After the expansion of the mining sector, there is a real appreciation of the exchange rate, which is followed by an increase in real wages. These changes then cause labor migration and lead to deindustrialization, resulting in the economy becoming dependent on an expanding sector. The aim of this work is to analyze the impact of the Dutch disease on the economic prosperity of the selected countries, Canada and the Russian Federation, in the years 2000-2022 and to find out whether the given countries really suffer from the Dutch disease. In the theoretical part, terms that are closely related to the issue of Dutch disease are introduced and explained, and individual symptoms of Dutch disease are also presented here. Based on these symptoms, the presence of Dutch disease in selected countries is subsequently investigated in the practical part. During the monitored period, we can observe all the symptoms of the Dutch disease in the Russian Federation, and the presence of this phenomenon can be partially confirmed in the case of Canada.
