***********************************
In most countries, selling and buying kidneys is prohibited, while donating a kidney is seen as a moral act. This is an example of a “repugnant” or“noxious” market. In this seminar, we will try to understand why some markets are repugnant, what are the consequences of such repugnance, and what are the consequences of different policy options with regard to these markets.
Registration in KSL and ILIAS is necessary.
Limited slots (12): Registration in KSL is necessary. (open from 15.01.-04.02.2025)
