Abstract: Bound electron pairs formed due to the peculiarities of the band dispersion of electrons in crystals attract much interest because they can carry charge and spin even in the absence of band conductivity. However, such an important parameter of bound pairs as the effective mass is still poorly understood. We carry out this study for materials described by the Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model in the electron-hole symmetric case and find a clear relationship between the effective mass and the energy of a bound pair at rest. The dependence of mass on energy has a specific form for each of different types of pairs, but a common feature is the change of the mass sign when energy passes through the middle of the band gap. The sign is negative when the energy is in the lower half of the gap, and positive in the upper half.
