Price of fairness in kidney exchange
Kidney exchange provides a life-saving alternative to long waiting lists for patients in need of a new kidney. Fielded exchanges typically match under utilitarian or near-utilitarian rules; this approach marginalizes certain classes of patients. In this paper, we focus on improving access to kidneys for highly-sensitized, or hard-tomatch, patients. Toward this end, we formally adapt a recently ...
متن کاملEmpirical Price of Fairness in Failure-Aware Kidney Exchange
Fielded kidney exchanges typically use utilitarian or near-utilitarian matching rules, potentially at great cost to certain classes of hardto-match patients. Dickerson, Procaccia, and Sandholm [6] recently adapted the price of fairness, a measure of the tradeoff between fairness and efficiency, to kidney exchange; they showed that the price of fairness is small in theory but often non-negligibl...
متن کاملBalancing Efficiency and Fairness in Dynamic Kidney Exchange
The preferred treatment for kidney failure is a transplant; however, demand for donor kidneys far outstrips supply. Kidney exchange, an innovation where willing but incompatible donor-patient pairs can exchange organs—via cycles and altruist-initiated chains— provides a life-saving alternative to long waiting lists for deceased-donor organs. Typically, fielded exchanges act myopically, consider...
متن کاملPrice Discrimination and Fairness Concerns Price Discrimination and Fairness Concerns
We analyze the profitability of third degree price discrimination under consideration of consumers’ fairness concerns within an experiment and explain the results within a theoretical framework. We find that with an increase in the price differential negative reciprocal reactions by disadvantaged consumers become stronger compared to positive reciprocal reactions by advantaged consumers. Conseq...
متن کاملThe Price of Fairness
In this paper we study resource allocation problems that involve multiple self-interested parties or players, and a central decision maker. We introduce and study the price of fairness, which is the relative system efficiency loss under a “fair” allocation assuming that a fully efficient allocation is one that maximizes the sum of player utilities. We focus on two well accepted, axiomatically j...
