Unbiased instrumental variables estimation under known first-stage sign

We derive mean-unbiased estimators for the structural parameter in instrumental variables models with a single endogenous regressor where the sign of one or more first-stage coefficients is known. In the case with a single instrument, there is a unique nonrandomized unbiased estimator based on the r...
