Mikhail Turov

Before joining the Institute in 2023, Mikhail Turov spent four years at the Eurasian Development Bank analysing energy-subsidy reform — work that left him preoccupied with a single question: how resource-dependent economies manage the loss of hydrocarbon revenue without destabilising household budgets. He studied environmental economics at the New Economic School in Moscow.

His current research compares carbon-pricing designs and their distributional effects across middle-income economies, and he contributes methodological notes on the reliability of energy data to the Institute's climate and environment programme.
