How much for a kidney: estimation of a price eliminating the donor shortage in CZ
Kašlík, Jan ; Šťastný, Daniel (advisor) ; Potužák, Pavel (referee)
This bachelor thesis studies the implemantation of a potential kidney market in the Czech Republic, in which donors would have the posibility to get monetary compensations for their kidneys. The main goal of this thesis is to determine the price of a kidney which would eliminate the waiting list and would allow all the people on it to get a transplantation. The price is a monetary compensation that causes indiference in potential donors as to whether to donate or not. The calculation of the compensation is done through determinating the risks patients undertake and calculating compensations for each of those risks. The value of the compensation for Czech Republic determinated in this thesis is 913 217 CZK. This amount would elicit an increase in the supply of kidneys that and would eliminate shortage and the waiting list. Estimation of the price is largerly dependent on the correct estimation of the value of a statistical life in the Czech Republic. Improving this value is, according to my findings, the most important step in the process of implementing such market.
