Abstract
Housing corporations are an important actor in the Dutch housing market. A parliamentary investigation showed there
were a lot of incidents within the housing corporations. In this thesis I examine what the current role of the housing
corporations is in the Dutch housing market and I question whether a case can be made for its privileged position based on
the level of earnings management. To answer this question I use OLS regression analysis and I examine the 2011 annual
reports of the housing corporations. The regression is based on financial information of 2011 provided by the Orbis
database. The outcome is of this study is that housing corporations engage less in real based earnings management than
purely market based firms
