The notion of what is \u201cright\u201d can be fairly\n  nebulous; we consider two issues that we see as key: e\ufb03ciency and fairness. We state a precise version of the\n  selection problem and provide a quantitative understanding of the inherent\n  tradeo\ufb00 between\n  e\ufb03ciency\n  and fairness that can guide a manager\u2019s decision. \u003C\/p\u003E\n  \u003C\/td\u003E\n \u003C\/tr\u003E\n\u003C\/tbody\u003E\u003C\/table\u003E\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003Ctable border=\u00220\u0022 cellspacing=\u00220\u0022 cellpadding=\u00220\u0022 width=\u0022624\u0022\u003E\n \u003Ctbody\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\n  \u003Ctd align=\u0022left\u0022 valign=\u0022top\u0022\u003E\n  \u003Cp\u003EOur\n  theoretical development is exempli\ufb01ed through a new, eminently implementable\n  proposal for deceased donor kidney allocation rules.
