PROFILE IN EXCELLENCE:
Fabian Leal, First-Year Fellow
Fabian joined the Initiative July 2023, after receiving his BA in Economics, Summa Cum Laude, and a BA in Geography, from the University of Florida.

In 2022, PhDEI moved to Stanford University from NYU Stern, thanks to generous support from the Hoover Institution and a gracious welcome from Stanford Graduate School of Business, where our fellows receive their appointments. Among the core institutional priorities at Hoover: addressing challenges to advanced economies by expanding access to quality education and strengthening equality of opportunity.
