Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 is a version of the Microsoft Office productivity suite for macOS. It is the successor to Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac and is comparable to Office 2010 for Windows. Office 2011 was followed by Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac released on September 22, 2015, requiring a Mac with an x64 Intel processor and OS X.

Months after announcing a complete redesign of Outlook for Mac, Microsoft is reportedly intending to scrap its current Mac app and replace it with a new client based on the Outlook web app. When we launched the Word and PowerPoint conversion feature last September, we promised to use customer feedback to improve Office Lens. Since September, we’ve received a lot of exciting and positive feedback from our customers about our conversion scenarios. We also learned about how customers are finding new and creative ways to use Office Lens and the text they capture in their pictures. Microsoft Lens (formerly Office Lens) trims, enhances, and makes pictures of whiteboards and documents readable. You can use Microsoft Lens to convert images to PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files, digitize printed or handwritten text, and save to OneNote, OneDrive, or your local device.
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.

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.
See Healthy Soils conference reports and other related climate policy briefs.
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.
GDAE Co-Director Sponsors Letter Urging Congress to Protect Forests
May 13, 2020
GDAE Co-Director Dr. William Moomaw has sponsored a letter urging Congress to protect forests in the United States and shift away from wood consumption in an effort to reduce carbon emissions. The letter has been signed by more than 200 climate and forest scientists.

Transitioning to a Low-Carbon Economy
May 12, 2020
GDAE research is extensively cited in a new article on the Green New Deal and the transition to a low-carbon economy. The article argues that a Green New Deal can produce both environmental and economic benefits and quotes extensively from GDAE researcher Jonathan Harris.See also Harris’s related Climate Policy Brief.

World Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency
November 5, 2019
William Moomaw co-authored a paper published in the journal BioScience. In the paper, Moomaw and his co-authors declared a climate emergency that without deep and lasting shifts in human activities will result in “untold human suffering”. The authors present a suite of graphical vital signs of climate change over the last 40 years for human activities that can affect GHG emissions and change the climate, as well as actual climatic impacts. The paper is endorsed by 11,258 scientists from 153 countries.
The paper has been covered by TheWashington Post, The Guardian, TheBoston Globe, and USA Today.
