Marsilius Lecture in Heidelberg Feb 7: Kidney Exchange and other market and near-market approaches to transplantation


Marsilius-Vorlesung: "Kidney Exchange and other market and near-market
approaches to transplantation"
Prof. Alvin Roth, Nobelpreis für Ökonomie 2012
Stanford University/USA
Recent advances in the organization of kidney exchange have increased the opportunities
for patients to receive live donor kidney transplants even when their own donors are
incompatible. But kidneys for transplant remain a scarce resource around the world. I will
discuss various ways in which the economics of market design can contribute to easing the
shortage, and how it can inform the debate about what to do next.
