Abstract Text The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that in the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) the mean Slutsky-income effect is positive if on average investors have non-increasing absolute risk aversion. Together with some lower bounds on the degree to which absolute risk aversion decreases with income this result will be shown to be sufficient for the uniqueness of CAPM-equilibria.
