We study the connection between risk aversion, the number of consumers, and the uniqueness of equilibrium. We consider an economy with two goods and  I  impatience types, where each type has additive separable preferences with HARA Bernoulli utility function,uH(x)≔γ1   −   γb   +aγx1   −   γ${u}_{\text{H}}(x) := \frac{\gamma }{1-\gamma }{\left(b+\frac{a}{\gamma }x\right)}^{1-\gamma }$. We show that ifγ   ∈1   ,II   −   1$\gamma \in \left(1,\frac{I}{I-1}\right]$, the economy has a unique regular equilibrium. Moreover, the methods used, including Newton’s symmetric polynomials and Descartes’ rule of signs, enable us to offer new sufficient conditions for uniqueness in a closed-form expression that highlight the role played by endowments, patience, and specific HARA parameters. Finally, we derive new necessary and sufficient conditions that ensure uniqueness for the particular case of CRRA Bernoulli utility functions with  γ  = 3.
