Fischer Black's universal hedging equilibrium is a special case that arises when market capitalizations equal wealth in each country and risk aversions are the same in all countries. To see this, let us use the notation X for the common risk aversion, and look a little more closely at the demand equations: \-i Ln+1 tX nj'jri'(s-w-j)- x H -\2n-l (6.34; To examine the currency hedging in country i, we look at the demand vector, dc The currency hedging of the foreign equity held in country / is the negative of the ratio of the bill holding in country / to the equity holding in country /. Thus, we examine the negative of ratio of the n + /th element to the /'th element. The uni-
