Bahram Adrangi, Ph.D., is the W. E. Nelson Professor of Financial Economics at the University of Portland in Portland, Oregon. His academic career encompasses research and teaching in financial economics, energy economics, macroeconomics, international economics, applied econometrics, statistics, and quantitative methods.

Professor Adrangi received his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Oregon, an MBA from Western Illinois University, and a B.A. in Economics from the University of Tehran.

His research has addressed a broad range of questions at the intersection of financial markets, energy markets, and the macroeconomy. Major areas of investigation include financial-market volatility, crude oil and natural-gas markets, economic-policy uncertainty, equity valuation, international financial markets, inflation and asset prices, productivity and energy shocks, and macroeconomic fluctuations.

His recent work increasingly combines financial and macroeconomic questions with modern empirical methodologies, including GARCH-MIDAS models, Markov regime-switching models, quantile methods, wavelet and frequency-domain analysis, panel-data methods, and dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) modeling.

Professor Adrangi's research has appeared in numerous peer-reviewed academic journals, including Energy Economics, The Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance, Financial Review, Bulletin of Economic Research, The American Economist, American Business Review, Journal of Economics and Finance, Applied Financial Economics, Transportation Research Part E, and other scholarly publications.

His research in energy economics includes studies of crude oil, petroleum products, natural gas, energy-market uncertainty, and the transmission of energy-market shocks to financial markets and the broader economy. His financial-market research has examined equity-market volatility, international equity markets, futures markets, precious metals, asset valuation, and the effects of economic and policy uncertainty.

More recent macroeconomic research uses DSGE models to investigate how productivity, energy, electricity, and oil-supply disturbances affect economic activity.

In addition to research, Professor Adrangi has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in economics, statistics, quantitative methods, econometrics, forecasting, and financial economics. His teaching emphasizes the application of economic and statistical reasoning to empirical problems and real-world data.

Professor Adrangi has also been active in academic and professional service, including journal reviewing, conference organization, professional associations, and the Association for Business and Economics Research and International (ABEAI).
