Abstract

Iran has the world’s only government-regulated kidney market. We report the results of the first field study of donor behaviour in this unusual market. Participants have lower risk tolerance and higher patience levels than the Iranian average but display no difference in rationality from population averages and there is evidence of altruism among participants. We provide an examination of decision-making in extreme situations by individuals in this market, typically at the very bottom of the income distribution, and shed light on the sort of people likely to participate if other nations were to operate such markets.

对伊朗肾脏市场捐赠者行为的实地研究

伊朗拥有世界上唯一一个由政府监管的肾脏市场。我们报告了在这个不寻常的市场中对捐赠者行为的首次实地研究结果。与伊朗的平均水平相比，参与者的风险承受能力较低，耐心水平较高，但在理性方面与人口平均水平没有差异，而且有证据表明参与者中存在利他主义。我们研究了该市场中的个人（通常处于收入分配的最底层）在极端情况下的决策，并揭示了如果其他国家运营此类市场，有可能参与的人群类型。
