Abstract
The shortfalls of nonmarket organ exchange
systems suggests that a market system may provide a
solution. This paper explores the literature surrounding
organ and healthcare markets and policy. Using a
partial equilibrium model, it creates a theoretical model
for an organ market. The results of a free market
indicate that government intervention via subsidy would
be a tool that could help correct for market failures.
However, without several key aspects of perfect
competition, a market for human organs is not currently
a feasible solution
