Bogart, Roger E. Meiners, and Andrew D. Dorchak, is a "…nearly unprecedented evaluation of claims by green energy and green jobs proponents that we can improve the economy and the environment, almost risk free, by spending billions of dollars on what are ultimately false promises." Dr. Bogart came to Maryville College in 2011. He was an economics professor at Case Western Reserve University and Dean of Academic Affairs at York College of Pennsylvania. Dr. Bogart holds a Ph.D. (1990) in Economics from Princeton University where his work was recognized with the Outstanding Dissertation Award from the National Tax Association.
