Many patients in need of a kidney transplant have a willing but incompatible (or poorly
matched) living donor. Kidney exchange programs arrange exchanges among such patient …

Advances in medical technology have made kidney transplants over the blood group barrier
feasible. This article investigates how such technology should be implemented when …

Within the last decade, the use of living-donor kidney exchanges for transplants has
emerged as a cross-disciplinary success for medical doctors and ethicists, market design …

A recent development of immunosuppressive protocols (or simply, suppressants) offers a
new option to patients suffering from end-stage renal disease: transplants from biologically …

Recent developments in immunosuppressive protocols have enabled patients to receive
kidney transplants from biologically incompatible donors. We propose to use …

There is no conflict between maximizing the number of transplants and giving priority to, eg,
highly HLA-sensitized recipients in kidney exchange programs that only permit pairwise …

Shortages in organs for transplantation have resulted in a renewed interest in designing
incentive policies to promote organ supply. The donor‐priority rule, which grants priority for …

We evaluate the goal of maximizing the number of individuals matched to acceptable
outcomes. We present two mechanisms that maximize assignments. The first is Pareto …

We survey the literature on applications of matching theory under non-transferable utility. We
cover the following six applications in detail: living-donor kidney exchange, living-donor liver …

This paper studies a kidney exchange problem in which a planner sorts patients into “priority
groups” based on, eg, the severity of their conditions. The planner may choose to allow …
