      Kidney Exchange: An Operations Perspective

      By: Itai Ashlagi and Alvin E. Roth
      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-donor pairs, in cycles and chains of exchange, so each patient receives a compatible kidney....  View Details

      By: Fuhito Kojima, Parag A. Pathak and Alvin E. Roth

      Unraveling Results from Comparable Demand and Supply: An Experimental Investigation

      By: Muriel Niederle, Alvin E. Roth and M. Utku Ünver
      Markets sometimes unravel, with offers becoming inefficiently early. Often this is attributed to competition arising from an imbalance of demand and supply, typically excess demand for workers. However this presents a puzzle, since unraveling can only occur when firms...  View Details

      The Need for (long) Chains in Kidney Exchange

      By: Itai Ashlagi, David Gamarnik, Michael A. Rees and Alvin E. Roth
      It has been previously shown that for sufficiently large pools of patient-donor pairs, (almost) efficient kidney exchange can be achieved by using at most 3-way cycles, i.e., by using cycles among no more than 3 patient-donor pairs. However, as kidney exchange has...  View Details

      Kidney Paired Donation
