Living donor kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients suffering from end‐
stage renal disease. To alleviate the shortage of kidney donors, many advances have been …

The efficient and fair allocation of limited resources is a classical problem in economics and
computer science. In kidney exchanges, a central market maker allocates living kidney …

Most algorithmic matches in fielded kidney exchanges do not result in an actual transplant.
In this paper, we address the problem of cycles and chains in a proposed match failing after …

As of May 2014 there were more than 100,000 patients on the waiting list for a kidney
transplant from a deceased donor. Although the preferred treatment is a kidney transplant …

Market design seeks to translate economic theory and analysis into practical solutions to
real-world problems. By redesigning both the rules that guide market transactions and the …

A kidney exchange is an organized barter market where patients in need of a kidney swap
willing but incompatible donors. Determining an optimal set of exchanges is theoretically …

As multi‐hospital kidney exchange has grown, the set of players has grown from patients
and surgeons to include hospitals. Hospitals can choose to enroll only their hard‐to‐match …

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 …

We study the manipulability of stable matching mechanisms. To quantify incentives to
manipulate stable mechanisms, we consider markets with random cardinal utilities, which …

We study the computational problem of identifying optimal sets of kidney exchanges in the
UK. We show how to expand an integer programming-based formulation due to Roth et …
