We provide analytical formulae for the asymptotic bias (ABIAS) and mean squared error (AMSE) of the IV estimator, and … construct a number of bias corrected OLS and IV estimators, which we show to be consistent under a sequential asymptotic scheme …. These bias-corrected estimators are also robust, in the sense that they remain consistent in a conventional asymptotic setup …
