Milan Quentel

About

Milan Quentel is a Research Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. As an economist working in the fields of environmental economics and economic geography, his primary research studies climate change mitigation policies such as the development of renewable energy and how it impacts individuals and the economy.

Quentel’s research aims to support policymakers in designing a cost-effective and just climate transition. His work with spatial and aggregate implications of climate change often uses quantitative spatial general equilibrium models based on high-resolution geographic data.

In addition, Quentel studies the economics of espionage and in particular what contributes to the success of certain spies and secret services. To this end, he has combined archival, public, and restricted-access social security data to create a comprehensive database of spies active in the Cold War. While historical in nature, this work aims to support policymakers in designing counterespionage policies in today's world.

Quentel holds a PhD in economics from Universität Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona.
