Lennartz, C. (author), Haffner, M. (author), Oxley, M. (author)Housing policies in many countries have become more market orientated as the role of governments has shifted from the direct supply and funding of non-market housing towards the role of a regulator and facilitator. Central to this development is the notion that providers of social housing have to become more competitive. Arguably, these social...journal article 2012

Haffner, M. (author), Lennartz, C. (author), Dol, K. (author)Housing outcomes are predominantly compared in terms of individual indicators, in-cluding such items as quality or affordability measures, where the outcomes of the individual measures are often not linked in a preceding research step. However, the creation of a composite indicator of housing outcomes, in which these individual measures are...report 2012

(author)Recently housing affordability has reached the agenda in Flanders and the Netherlands, giving a good reason to present a review of the concept of affordability and different definitions. The concept of short-term affordability, which is concerned with financial access to a dwelling and is based on cash flows, is combined with the concept of long...journal article 2011

Haffner, M.E.A. (author), Boumeester, H.J.F.M. (author)Housing became more expensive in the Netherlands between 2002 and 2006, a trend which has been demonstrated using various measures of affordability. The expenditure-to-income ratios calculated for households confirm that the average cost of housing rose for tenants and homeowners, as well as for most income groups generally. This contribution...journal article 2010

Oxley, M. (author), Haffner, M. (author), Hoekstra, J. (author), Van der Heijden, H. (author)The paper will argue that the meaning and definition of private renting varies from country to country and this presents a series of challenges for comparative research. It will demonstrate a lack of equivalence between private rented housing sectors in Western Europe and show that this arises from variations in definitions, property rights,...conference paper 2010

Haffner, M.E.A. (author), Elsinga, M. (author)Urban renewal in the Netherlands has become a matter of ‘networking’. Housing associations, Dutch social landlords, became financially independent in the 1990s and have a responsibility in urban renewal. It is a joint responsibility in which local authority, social landlord and tenants are dependent on each other. This situation is rather new...journal article 2009

Lennartz, C. (author), Haffner, M.E.A. (author), Oxley, M.J. (author)When policy makers claim that rented housing has to become more competitive, there is no consensus on what competition in this context actually means. The same holds true for scientific housing research: Theories that have utilized the economic concept of competition tend to rely on implicit definitions or focus on selected aspects. In...conference paper 2009
