ABSTRACT I show that constrained monotone instrumental variable estimators are asymptotically equivalent to their unconstrained counterparts whenever the true regression function is in the interior of the constrained set. In a simulation study, a sieve-based constrained estimator is shown to outperform the unconstrained one even in cases where both are asymptotically equivalent.
