摘要：“In 1991, the World Health Assembly approved a set of Guiding Principles which emphasize
voluntary donation, non-commercialization and a preference for cadavers over living donors” (World
Health Organization). We investigate whether factors such as inequality, rule of law and religion have any
effect on the ratio of cadaveric transplants to all transplants. Using an unbalanced annual dataset from 64
countries over 1993-2004, we show particularly for developing countries that an improvement in equality
and rule of law encourage cadaveric kidney transplants. Religion also plays an important role in that
relationship.
