American Barrick Resources Corporation Case a. Explain the value chain for gold mining firms (how can a mine create a competitive advantage relative to its rivals). What are the factors that may explain exceptional performance of ABX relative to the other gold mines? To create a competitive advantage‚ a mine has to properly manage its exposure to gold price fluctuations. This is not an easy thing to do since there are so many factors to consider: when‚ how much‚ and how to hedge the gold

Here I shall focus on the optim command‚ which implements the BFGS and L-BFGS-B algorithms‚ among others.1 Optimization through optim is relatively straightforward‚ since it is usually not necessary to provide analytic first and second derivatives. The command is also flexible‚ as likelihood functions can be declared in general terms instead of being defined in terms of a specific data set. 2 Syntactic Structure Estimating likelihood functions entails a two-step process.
