September 2018Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software is a great upgrade to an exceptional cross-platform utility that’s easily worth the money, especially if you own the previous version 14, in which case this one’s free.
The user interface is tastefully designed, with buttons for mounting, unmounting, verifying, or erasing the selected volume. Dual-boot users also have the option to reboot into a compatible mounted Mac or Windows startup volume. There’s even a lovely color-coded space indicator like the one introduced with Mac OS X El Capitan, displaying content by Audio, Video, Apps, Images, and Other categories.MacWorld, USA, August 2017,

WOW….Ive been struggling with the whole MAC/Windows NTFS issue for some time and have a number of external drives that I need to swap between Mac/PC all the time. I’ve always had a headache with NTFS drivers etc. I bought and downloaded your Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software today and WOW. Amazing. Everything just works. Brilliant product. Worth every penny. Thank you.

It is pretty fast with NTFS transfers (slightly slower than OSX extended partitions obviously) and I’ve never had any problems mid-transfer or anything. For me, it’s always done what it said on the box, and now with V14 it’s got El Capitan compatibility, so no complaints here. If you’re looking for a way to have plug-and-play NTFS drives on your mac, there really isn’t a better alternative to Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software. Highly recommended for all Mac users!

If you have a Mac and you need to access volumes that are formatted NTFS, this is the best solution out there. Why Apple hasn’t just baked in support for NTFS after all these years still remains a mystery. I’ve been using Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software for several years now and have never had any problems with it.

Welcome to GDAE’s website!
This website presents GDAE’s current research and educational efforts in 3 areas:
Educational materials, including the “In Context” texts for Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Principles of Economics and one-semester Essentials of Economics, as well as free teaching modules can now be accessed at their new location at the Economics in Context Initiative at Boston University’s Global Development Policy Center.
Publications reflecting GDAE’s earlier research in areas such as globalization, trade, and feminist economics, including Policy Briefs and Discussion papers, can be found in our Resource Directory.
All GDAE books and working papers are also available.
GDAE Researchers have new published work on important frontier areas in economics and ecology. Senior Research Associate Timothy A. Wise has a
on the promise of ecological agriculture in Africa, as well as the social and ecological damage from intensive agribusiness. (See other recent work by Wise.)
GDAE Co-Director William Moomaw is featured in a New Yorker article by Bill McKibben who cites Moomaw’s research on “proforestation”— growing existing forests intact to their ecological potential—as an alternative to unsustainable policies of burning biomass. See theoriginal articleby Moomaw et al. and a summary in EnviroBites.
Senior Research Associate Julie A. Nelson discusses issues of economics, gender, and community knowledge in two recent articles on “Economics, Considered” and “Economics and Community Knowledge-Making”. Dr. Nelson is one of the founders of feminist economics and presents feminist perspectives on the economics of care, ecological economics, behavioral economics, and the theory of the firm.
Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office Forum on Forest Carbon Storage
September 15, 2020
GDAE Co-Director Dr. William Moomaw joined two distinguished colleagues, Richard A. Birdsey of the Woodwell Climate Research Center and John Sterman of the MIT Sloan School of Management at a forum sponsored by the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office to discuss The Critical Role of Forests in Protecting Climate and Public Health. In addition to examining the crucial role of forests in carbon storage, the panelists discuss the potential of energy efficiency and renewables, concluding that an aggressive policy combining efficiency and renewables with forest protection and expansion can be effective in reducing the impacts of climate change. View the webinar.
Climate Change, Social Equity, and the Green New Deal
August 14, 2020
GDAE Senior Researcher Jonathan Harris is quoted extensively in a new article on social equity and the Green New Deal.He argues that the political presentation of the Green New Deal has improved, stressing its practical advantages especially for low-income earners.A Green New Deal has the potential to create millions of jobs, while employing policy measures that are low cost and can have immediate impact.The COVID crisis increases the urgency of a broad Federal response both to unemployment and to the health crisis.The article builds on an earlier presentation about Transitioning to a Low-Carbon Economy.See also Harris’s policy brief on Ecological Economics of the Green New Deal and other research by GDAE on Green Economics.
Two New Policy Briefs on Soils and Climate
July 13, 2020
Policies to promote healthy soils are central both for climate policy and agricultural sustainability. Following two conferences on the topic, GDAE researchers present two policy briefs, one by Sam Polzin on Soil Carbon, Water Management, and Natural Infrastructure and one by Benjamin Johnson on Land Value and Soil Quality.They advocate:
- Regionally coordinated state-level agricultural policy incentives to enhance both soil health and water management in the Northeastern United States by harnessing the potential for agriculture to build natural infrastructure.
- Reforming current systems of land valuation and taxation to reflect soil quality and long-term productive potential, creating landowner incentives for proper stewardship.

Moomaw Appeals to the EU Parliament for Climate-Focused Forest Management
May 22, 2020
GDAE Co-director William Moomaw has drafted a letter to the European Parliament emphasizing forest management as an effective tool to reduce atmospheric carbon. Forests remove more carbon from the atmosphere than any other planetary system, but this storage potential is threatened by human activities. Long-term carbon storage in forests is critically important in order to achieve both EU and global climate targets.
The letter has been signed by 370 scientists from 34 countries who have a range of expertise spanning multiple dimensions of climate, forests, energy, carbon cycle accounting and biodiversity. Signers include some of the senior scientists who warned about the consequences of climate change during the 1970s and 80s, leading scientists of today, and younger scientists who are studying to be able to offer their talents to nature’s climate solutions.
