The article explores how players in a legislative bargaining process first form coalitions and then negotiate over how to allocate resources within those coalitions. The researchers found that when players are more impatient in forming coalitions, they tend to quickly form winning groups, while delays occur when players are more patient. They also discovered that the timing of discount factors influences the occurrence of delays in bargaining. Additionally, the study introduces leader-dependent hedonic games, where players have preferences over coalitions and their leaders, leading to different outcomes in bargaining scenarios.
