Abstract
Methods for estimating nonresponse bias are reviewed and several methods are tried on the 1980 GSS. The results indicate that various estimating procedures are inappropriate and that even the more promising techniques can provide faulty estimates of nonresponse bias. By its nature, nonresponse bias is very difficult to assess accurately and no simple, certain method exists.Keywords
