Journal of Economic Perspectives, 1995 Modern social choice theory, following Kenneth Arrow, treats voting as a method for aggregating diverse preferences and values.

However, when the number of candidates is large enough, it is too costly to ask the voters to rank all candidates. We suggest to fix a rank k, to ask all voters to specify their best k candidates, and then to consider "top-k approximations" of rules, which take ...
