This diploma thesis deals with the possible solution of the kidney shortage problem. Especially analyses effect of legislation system of registration to organ donation on count of kidney transplants and waiting time. The effect of the legislation system is analyzed with panel data of OECD countries. Using random effects method, the estimated result suggest that the countries using informed consent produce on average 7,49 kidney transplants per million population fewer and on average 1,95 years longer waiting time, than countries using presumed consent. Although model predicted positive impact of presumed consent system, empirical data from Chile didn't confirm this assumption. Based on the analysis, I suggest better solution of kidney shortage problem, than change of the registration system. Introduce of compensatory payments to living kidney donors.
