Abstract:     
Because disparate impact and disparate treatment claims have distinct elements, they require distinct methods of testing. This article analyzes three different ways of testing of unjustified disparate impacts in organ transplantation, which I will call: the traditional test, the omitted-variable test, and the outcome test.

Keywords: disparate impact, discrimination, statistics
