While there are around 100,000 patients waiting for a deceased donor kidney in the U.S., over 25% of recovered kidneys are not placed. We assess the impact of incorporating learning into allocation policies to reduce inefficiencies in the system. Using simulations, we evaluate alternative allocation policies that take advantage of knowing a patient's probability of acceptance against the current sequential offering process. We quantify the reduction in waiting times and increase in utility with alternative allocation policies.
