Many are familiar with an exchange problem like kidney or liver exchange. Here, patients have multi-unit blood demand and possibly many paired donors. The exchange rate between receiving one unit and your replacement donors donating is not necessarily one-to-one 2/5

In practice, many different exchange rates are used. Currently, the exchange is only done directly with the bank, which is fine when blood inventory is large. However, many countries' blood banks have low running inventory, so bank-mediated exchange among patients is needed. 3/5

How do you arrange efficient exchanges by batching patients and their replacement donors when their replacement donor sets and even marginal costs of donor provision are private information? What kids of exchange rates enable incentive-compatible exchange? 4/5

A general class of IC mechanisms is proposed, embedding all in the literature for similar problems, such as priority mechanisms (efficient version of current mech.) and maximal mechanisms: exchange rates can be endogenous or exogenous if identified regularity properties hold. 5/5
