KDPI-dependent ranking policies : shaping the allocation of deceased-donor kidneys in the new era

Alta, Baris; Ding, Yichuan; Zenios, Stefanos - 2017

The deceased-donor kidney transplant candidates in the US are ranked according to characteristics of both the donor and the recipient. We seek the ranking policy that optimizes the efficiency-equity tradeoff among all such policies, taking into account patients' strategic choices. Our approach...

The Sound of Silence: Observational Learning in the U.S. Kidney Market

Zhang, Juanjuan - In: Marketing Science 29 (2010) 2, pp. 315-335

Mere observation of others' choices can be informative about product quality. This paper develops an individual-level dynamic model of observational learning and applies it to a novel data set from the U.S. kidney market, where transplant candidates on a waiting list sequentially decide whether...

Recipient Choice Can Address the Efficiency-Equity Trade-off in Kidney Transplantation: A Mechanism Design Model

Su, Xuanming; Zenios, Stefanos A. - In: Management Science 52 (2006) 11, pp. 1647-1660

In kidney allocation, transplant candidates may have private information about their propensity to enjoy good outcomes … develops a mechanism design model to investigate the effect of such information asymmetry on the kidney allocation system. In … (emphasizing efficiency) and minimum utility across all candidates (emphasizing equity). The kidney allocation problem is to divide …

Patient Choice in Kidney Allocation: The Role of the Queueing Discipline

Su, Xuanming; Zenios, Stefanos - In: Manufacturing & Service Operations Management 6 (2004) 4, pp. 280-301

This paper develops and analyzes a queueing model to examine the role of patient choice on the high rate of organ refusals in the kidney transplant waiting system. The model is an M/M/1 queue with homogeneous patients and exponential reneging. Patients join the waiting system and organ...
