Title: Age based preferences in paired kidney exchange
Abstract: We consider a model of Paired Kidney Exchange (PKE) with feasibility constraints on the number of patient-donor pairs 
	involved in exchanges. Patients' preferences are restricted so that patients prefer kidneys from compatible younger 
	donors to kidneys from older donors. In this framework, patients with compatible donors may enroll on PKE programs to 
	receive an organ with higher expected graft survival than that of their intended donor. PKE rules that satisfy individual 
	rationality, eciency, and strategy-proofness necessarily select pairwise exchanges. Such rules maximize the number of 
	transplantations among pairs with the youngest donors, and sequentially among pairs with donors of dierent age groups. 
Classification-JEL: C78; D02; D78; I10.
Keywords: Kidney exchange, Age based preferences, Priority rules, Strategy-proofness.
