Optimal organ allocation policy under blood‐type barriers with the donor‐priority rule

Shortages in organs for transplantation have resulted a renewed interest designing incentive policies to promote organ supply. The donor‐priority rule, which grants priority based on deceased donor registration status, has proven be effective both theory and practice. This study investigates the implications of rule optimal allocation policy design under general formulation blood‐type barriers. We find that any blood typing matching technology, reserving type X only patients maximizes aggregate donation rate regular distributions, also ensures equity sharing. Moreover, this is unique if directed compatibility graph corresponds given technology acyclic.
