The necessary and sufficient conditions on the<br />

relative values of the ht for a stationary and the<br />

unique (global) maximum" are obtained by<br />

setting the derivatives in (10) equal to zero,<br />

which give the set of equations<br />

(12) ZiXa + 2jZ#ij = *,-, » = 1, 2 m;<br />

where we write<br />

(13) z, = \hi.<br />

It will be noted the set of equations (12) —<br />

which are identical to those Tobin derived by a<br />

different route 21 — are linear in the own-ronances,<br />

pooled covariances, and excess returns of<br />

the respective securities; and since the covariance<br />

matrix x is positive definite and hence nonsingular,<br />

this system of equations has a unique<br />

solution<br />

(14) z
