SMU SOE Seminar (Feb 7, 2020): Optimal Organ Allocation Policy Under (Over) Blood-Type Barriers
| |
TOPIC:
|
OPTIMAL ORGAN ALLOCATION POLICY UNDER (OVER) BLOOD-TYPE BARRIERS
|
ABSTRACT
Shortages in organs for transplantation have resulted in renewed interest in designing incentive policies to promote organ supply. The donor-priority rule, which grants priority for transplantation based on deceased organ donor registration status, has proven to be effective in both theory and practice. This paper studies the implications of the donor-priority rule for optimal deceased organ allocation policy design under (over) blood-type barriers. We find that for any blood typing and organ matching technology, reserving type X organs for only type X patients maximizes the aggregate donation rate under regular type distributions, which also ensures equity in organ sharing.
