Modeled as an n-person cooperative game: A majority rule game with some special features. The authors call it the "Distributive Legislative Game. " In the game, each representative <math>i</math>proposes a project or program with total benefits <math>b</math> and costs <math>c<b</math>. The benefits to the <math>i</math>th project accrue entirely to district <math>i</math>, but the costs are distributed equally to all districts. No side payments possible.
