The dissertation explores the nature of the financial crisis that has affected the USA and UK aiming to disclose the mechanism through which the US mortgage market and housing market crash caused the economic slowdown in both countries. The review of literature touches on the features of the housing market as a segment of the country’s economy, the role of property prices in the economic growth, theoretical explanations of the crisis, the issues of lending legislation in the house market segment, the role of government and financial institutions in the sub-prime crisis, etc. The methods of the research are based on the deductive approach using sampling and regression analysis of the qualitative and quantitative data obtained from secondary sources. Conclusions are made about the causes and effects of the US sub-prime mortgage crisis and the validity of the hypothesis that the US government, particularly the Federal Reserve System, played an important role in initiating the sub-prime mortgage crisis.
