Porter-Golden Foot & Mouth Collection, number 51
No full textEight men stacking wood in preparation for a burn pile for the disposal of infected carcasses. G. E. Golden #14. Writing on the photo or group of photos: 'This Collection of kodak pictures, gathered by the late, Dr. Frank D. Porter in the course of his life work and interest with diseased animals is bequeathed to the library of Texas A&M College at his request, in the hope it will be of service and help to students in the pursuit of their career. The pictures were made by Dr. F. D. Porter while on the Foot & Mouth disease in California in year of 1930 and in Houston in 1924. And some were acquired from G. E. Golden. Dr. Frank D. Porter, Born-Indiana-1879, Died-Ft. Worth, TX-May 22, 1950.' Physical description: Black and white print (photograph) 9x14.5mm."The humane feature of the argument can be disposed of by saying that all susceptible live stock are food-producing animals, and their ultimate distination is the slaughterhouse. ...The animals slaughtered in abattoirs for food are all in an apparently healthy condition, while the animals shot in corrals, and trenches, preparatory to deposal on account of this disease, are in many instances pitiable sights to witness. ...mucous membrane, lining the mouth, tongue, and gums, has sloughed off in large patches, leaving these surfaces in a raw state, which is evidenced by the depressed and painful expressions on the faces of animals affected. ...the feet are so painfully involved as to cause the affected animals to lie down continuously in order to avoid pain. ...the pictures presented in connection with this article, should convince anyone of the severity of the disease." - G. E. Golden. JAVMA. 1926.
Both Dr. Frank D. Porter and Dr. George E. Golden worked for the Unitied States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Animal Industry. Dr. Porter was born and raised in Indiana in 1879, and graduated from Indiana Veterinary College in 1916.

He is listed in an 1919 issue of JAVMA as servicing in the military service and receiving a honarable discharge and returning to his duties for the BAI. He was married to a Mary Clarissa Vanderburgh in New Orleans, Laousiana in 1918. The 1920 Iowa, Sioux City U. S. Census has him as married, age 42, occupation Veterinary and employer as Government; and on a 1925 U. S. Census he is listed as having three daughters, ages 4, 3 and 1 years old.

Golden Parachutes, Incentives, and the Cost of Debt
No full textWe examine the relation between the presence of golden parachutes and the cost of debt financing. We hypothesize that since golden parachutes compensate CEOs in the event of termination, CEOs with golden parachutes will have an incentive to increase firm risk and decrease effort, and this will lead to a higher cost of debt. Consistent with these hypotheses, we document a significant positive relation between the use of golden parachutes and the cost of debt. We confirm these results with a natural experiment using a difference-in-difference specification based on a 2004 change in IRS tax regulations. Moreover, we find that the adoption of a golden parachute is associated with an increase in firm risk, a higher likelihood of CEO turnover, and a lower operating performance. Overall, the evidence suggests that golden parachutes are primarily negative for the firm and for debt holders in particular.Golden parachutes, cost of debt, takeover probability, firm risk, CEO turnover
On the Golden Rule of capital accumulation under endogenous longevity
No full textThis note derives the Golden Rule of capital accumulation in a Chakraborty-type economy, i.e. a two-period OLG economy where longevity is endogenous. It is shown that the capital per worker maximizing steady-state consumption per head is inferior to the Golden Rule capital level prevailing under exogenous longevity. We characterize also the Lifetime Golden Rule, that is, the capital per worker maximizing steady-state expected lifetime consumption per head, and show that this tends to exceed the standard Golden Rule capital level.Golden Rule ; longevity ; OLG models

Comparing Open-Ended Choice Experiments and Experimental Auctions: An Application to Golden Rice
No full textWe use two different experimental valuation methods to estimate consumer demand for genetically-modified golden rice. The first is an open-ended choice experiment (OECE) where participants name the quantities of golden rice and conventional rice demanded at each of several price combinations, one of which will be randomly chosen as binding. This allows us to estimate market demand by aggregating demand across participants. This estimate of market demand also allows us to estimate own-price elasticity and consumer surplus for golden rice. Comparing willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates from the OECE with those from a uniform-price auction, we find that OECE WTP estimates exhibit less affiliation across rounds, and the effects of positive and negative information under the OECE are more consistent with prior expectations and existing studies. We also find that while auction WTP estimates more than double across five rounds, OECE WTP estimates are stable across rounds and are always roughly equal to those from the final auction round.choice experiments, experimental auctions, golden rice, valuation
