Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
Over the last 15 years, kidney exchange has become a mainstream paradigm to increase
transplants. However, compatible pairs do not participate, and full benefits from exchange
can be realized only if they do. We propose incentivizing compatible pairs to participate
in exchange by insuring their patients against future renal failure via increased priority in
deceased-donor queue. We analyze equity and welfare benefits of this scheme through a new
dynamic continuum model. We calibrate the model with US data and quantify substantial
gains from adopting incentivized exchange, both in terms of access to living-donor transplants
and reduced competition for deceased-donor transplants.
