معرفی
Gaurav Chiplunkar serves as an Assistant Professor in the Global Economies and Markets group at the Darden School of Business, University of Virginia, having joined the faculty in fall 2019. His research bridges development and labor economics with a geographic focus on low- and middle-income countries, particularly India.
Education
- Ph.D. in Economics, Yale University
Research Focus
Chiplunkar investigates how industrial policies shape firm behavior and how labor market frictions constrain job search, recruitment, and hiring practices. His work critically examines gender disparities and digitalization's impact on economic outcomes, employing experimental and non-experimental methodologies to evaluate policy interventions. Key themes include structural transformation, employment protection legislation, and the socioeconomic implications of marriage markets and dowry systems in developing economies.
Publication Trends
His recent scholarship reveals concentrated research on Indian labor markets (matching frictions, informality), gender barriers (entrepreneurship, structural transformation), and crisis responses (political connections during economic downturns). Educational interventions and conservation-development trade-offs represent emerging methodological frontiers, with heavy reliance on field experiments and policy evaluation frameworks.
