Renowned Energy Economist Doug Bohi Passes Away
Renowned energy economist Doug Bohi, a senior fellow at our website for nearly two decades, has sadly passed away this summer. Known for his influential research and policy engagement, Bohi's work significantly shaped the field of energy economics.
Bohi's career spanned several decades, with his first research topic focusing on the nature of energy demand and supply. He coauthored the seminal book 'Limiting Oil Imports' in 1978, providing a comprehensive economic history of U.S. policy for restricting foreign oil purchases.
Later, Bohi delved into 'oil security' and the impact of a national market for sulfur dioxide permits on traditional public utility regulation. His research also explored the role of the Federal Reserve in the U.S. recession of the early 1980s, demonstrating that contractionary policies had a more significant influence than oil price jumps.
Bohi served as the chief economist of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in 1987-1988, further cementing his impact on energy policy. His ability to mentor others and write effectively made him an especially valued colleague.
Doug Bohi's contributions to energy economics will continue to influence the field. His insights into energy demand, supply, regulation, and policy have left an indelible mark. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this time.
