Repugnant transactions defined
A repugnant transaction is one that some people want to engage in while others object—not because they are personally harmed, but for moral or religious reasons; this differs from disgusting transactions, which almost no one wants to engage in and are handled automatically by supply and demand.

Alvin RothEvidence Quote
“what I mean by a repugnant transaction is a transaction that some people would like to engage in and other people object to and think shouldn't be engaged in, but not because they're harmed personally, but because they have moral or religious objections”
